Default Edlebrock intake clearance

Has anyone made the vic jr intake fit under the SS hood without cutting it up? I wondered if I could mill the intake down bc I need extra room to fit the nitrous plate as well. Are their elbows available that clear the hood with this setup, or should I just make my own? I dont mind cutting the wiper cowl if needed. Any knowledge is appriciated.....

it clears the hood and cowl in a WS-6, I don't have anyone I know running it with a Victor Jr. on an SS though. funny too b/c the guy I know that's running it is in Springfield.

Thanks for the replies. Im looking at the different elbows now. Jdo6696- I prolly know the car ur talking about. Red TA, his intake was made by a local and its shorter than others and he doesnt have a plate underneath. May not even be the same car, but theirs only a couple cars in Springfield with that intake........If no one knows for sure what elbow will clear, I think Ill make my own. I was just unsure about airflow and the excact shape.

you could be right, I can send him a PM and ask him which one he is using. I know the intakeelbows.com one is advertised as fitting under the f-body cowl, but I don't know for sure.

edit - here's the guy in Springfield's info who did my friend Jason's car's elbow -

Blake at 417 motorsports is who built my elbow (417-865-1314). he made it fit without notching or cutting anything on my hood or cowl.
