Default Intake Fit?

Tried searching, couldn't find what I was looking for. Does anybody know if a Weiand Stealth will fit under the stock 80 hood? Or, what intakes have you guys used that will fit. Someday would like to get a hi-rise hood, just want to make if faster first. $500 buys quite a few ponies :yesnod:

I've got a Weiand Stealth under a stock '71 - you shouldn't have any problems with yours. :cheers:

I use a Edelbrock Tarantula (TM-1) which is approx. the same height as a stealth + a 1/2 inch spacer under a stock height hood... However - I use a extreme air filter drop base setup...

How much was the drop base air cleaner, and where did you get it? Thanks, Chuck

I've run the Performer and the Performer RPM Q-Jet on mine. Had to switch to a three inch filter element with the high rise,but there's room with the stock 80 hood.
