Got one on my '75. Think it's a 2116. No problems untill the Q-Jet crapped out, see other threads.
It's got do give you a few extra HP and weight savings.
Clearence for the hood/air cleaner were fine. Just lower the hood gently the first time.

I may be completely wrong, but don't the quadrajet carbs need a spreadbore manifold, and not square like the performer. My old quadrajet removed from my 75 L48 engine is spreadbore and I put a performer manifold on mine with a Holley 600, which is square bore.

2701 is a squarebore manifold. Adapter will be required to run a Q-Jet. That will make clearance an issue.2101 (non-EGR) and 3701 (EGR) are direct fir Performer spreadbore manifolds. I had a 2101 with a stock aircleaner with no issues.

You will probably not feel any performance gain by just swapping the intake manifold, but the Edelbrock aluminum intake will be lighter and look better. I got the 3701 for my 80 vette (California emissions) and there are no hood clearance problems. Its height is almost identical to stock.

2101 works w/ Q-J. Previous 2101 is best for performance.
