Will these even fit on a Big Block under the stock hood? I have a 73 so I believe the hoods were the same?

I have the C66-O manifold and carbs. They have the same overall dimensions except for the oval ports instead of square ports that you have. This setup does not fit under my stock big block hood ('68). The '73 has a cowl type hood but I think even with that the front carb will interfere with your hood or will likely not leave enough room for the air cleaner. I ended up buying an L88 hood for mine. There's plenty of room with that.
