fuel injected guys how much room is there from the top of your intake to the hood?

can some one please give me a measurement from the top of the intake to there hood? I'm going to be running a 6.0 with a vic jr intake and a carb but my air hat has a 2" spacer on it and i need to know if a 4" cowl will clear it. i found a good deal but I'm not sure if it will clear.

from the intake manifold/carb mounting surface i need 9.5" minimum.

please can some one get me a measurement

Im running a truck intake on mine and it clears a 2.5" cowl hood. With a 4" hood it should work as the only place im even close is at the front where the throttle body is and I got it to clear with the cover on the intake.

cound you measure from where the intake meets the block at the back on the engine up to the cowl? the carb setup i have is pretty tall.

I can see. might be kind of hard. My hood doesnt really have an opening in the back, its got a grille type peice so stuff cant get in under the hood.

I don't have the car with me to measure, but here are a few reference pics. This is using a L92 Vic jr. and a 1" spacer. Its VERY close with a 4" hood ! Even with a drop base 14"x3" filter .

i don't think its going to look very good. this sucks, i didn't think it was going to sit that high. guess its going to be function over form.

It may work wont know till you mock it up. The problem with clearence is towards the front. If you have a 4" cowl hood it may clear.

i guess ill just have to wait to get a hood. or i may try and get a stock hood for mock up.
