5.3 LS with Carburetor in 63 & 77 Nova - Hood Clearance ???
Can someone please tell if there is enough hood clearance for a 5.3LS with Edelbrock type intake with a carburetor in 1st generation (1963) and 4th generation (1977) Chevy Nova?
Thanks

Lots of factors.
The intake in the pick (Vic JR) is a single plane, the Edelbrock Performer RPM is a dual-plane. You know the heights of these things vary. GMPP has one too. Which one are you going to run? What type of air cleaner? size? What type of oil pan? What kind of hoods (stock?)?
I can guess, so not worth much, but I will say no on the '63 and yes on the '77
