"Who's got 'which' intake manifold under 'what' hood?"
Will the Edelbrock performer eps #2701 fit under a stock 68-72 small block hood?

If we get enough members to post their combinations, we'd have an impressive list.....
Just my $.02 worth.

My experience is that an Edelbrock Performer will fit under a stock 68-72 hood, and an Edelbrock Performer RPM series intake won't. Some guys here have made RPM intakes fit, but not with the stock air cleaner.

The EPS is about a 1/4" taller than a 2101 which is supposed to be about 1/4 taller than stock.
The 73-79 med. rise hood allows the Victor Jr, RPM & others on SB w/ aftermarket dropbase filter & Holley.
The L-88 hi rise hood is only 7/8" higher than the 73-79 med. rise hood & allows a taller intake for BB.
It's best to look at the entire flow path incl. air filter, not just the intake.
