Default Nova/carb/Procharger/hood clearance

curious if anyone is running an LS engine with a blowthru carb and Procharger in a 68-72 Nova w/carb hat
interested in hood clearance using a stock hood, prob using a Vic. Jr intake
most have gone FI, hoping someone has this combo or tried it

i dont think it fits but if you need something for measurment my truck intake clears a 2.5 steel cowl hood just barely. so you will need to be 2.5" lower than a stock truck intake to stay with a stock hood.
