Place a 4-1/8" block in the fender drain rail on center with the carburetor.
Laying a straight edge on these blocks with give the clearance to the underside of the L88 hood. (courtesy Eckler catalog)

Exactly 2" more than a BB hood. Not sure what the difference is between SB & BB... Think it's about 2"???
