1970 LT1 Hood
I have a question, my 70 has a stock hood 350/300hp. I have a 70 GM stock winters high rise aluminum intake I believe was available for Corvette or Z28 Camaro I obtained and wanted to make sure if I go to a LT1 hood it will clear and close. I like the look rather than stock. So any comments is appreciated.

This is the intake
My hood currently
My stock 350 without the intake.
So you think that intake fits under stock hood ? Well I can always put it on and set the carb and air cleaner and close it right? I just thought it wouldn’t fit because only a edelbrock performer w Qjet fits anything else go to LT1 hood.

Get some playdough and put it in a ziplock bag. Set it on your air breather there and close your stock hood to see how much room you have now. Compare the height difference between manifolds and go from there

I used to have a 69 350/350 with an LT-1 intake and Holley carb. It fit under the stock hood, but not by much. Be sure the air cleaner stud doesn’t stick up too high. Don’t ask me how I know that.
