Default ZZ4 intake height?

My C3 with a ZZ4 is in storeage.
Can any of you ZZ4 folks tell me the measurement for the intake manifold from the base to the carb mount face?
Thanks

my guess would be it depends on what intake and carb you are using. I have an Edelbrock ZZ4 w/ an 800 cfm Thunder series carb, and I had to go with an L-88 hood, would not fit under an LT-1 hood.

About 4". If its the "thickness" of the stock ZZ4 manifold you're after, thats from the base or bottom of the intake manifold to the base of the carb/top of the manifold...

Hope that helps!

Thanks Rob. Exactly what I needed.
This tells me the Weiand Air Strike will not fit under my hood as it is
5-1/4" high.
With my ZZ4 intake and Holley Street Avenger carb had to put on an
L88 hood scoop to just clear the ZZ4/Holley set up.
Thanks again,

Fred
