Carbureted LSX forum - Another hood clearance issue

I have a 1970 camaro that I am installing a carbed 5.3 in. I have the engine as low in hole as possible, and have zero clearance between the carb and hood. I am running the edelbrok intake and msd box that comes in there conversion kit. I was really wanting to run the flat hood. Is anyone out there with a second gen camaro made this happen? Also if I have to run a cowl hood what air cleaner will fit with only two inches clearance?

Your going to need a cowl hood....id get a 3 inch to play it safe. I used the shortest k&n filter with drop base and xstream lid and have 3/4 of space. This was the lowest set up possible i could come up with. i have pic of it posted in my gallery.

if you're worried about hood clearance then run the EFI setup

Cowl Hood here too, have a 2 1/2 cowl. Running a Drop base aircleaner made for Holley DP but there are alot of Drop base aircleaners out there...Also run a 2" tall airfilter

Mtc75 vette how do I look at your gallery? Where did you find a 3 inch cowl hood all I can find is 2 inch? Thanks for the feedback.

Bent, click on MTC 75 name, next to his post. then click on view public profile. on the right side of the page and down a little bit will be his "Album". click there to view the pics.

Very clean install MTC!

Thanks gary...I found my used on the corvette-forum. I am sure if you do some google searches you will find something, if not you can make the 2 inch work. Run the rpm instead of the vic jr and use the same air cleaner set up as me and it should just make it.

Think I got it. Rpm intake drop base 2 inch element 2 inch cowl hood. Have about 3/4 inch clearance. Thanks for the input.
