Default Dual quad intake to fit under smooth hood

I'm assembling a smooth hood ERA roadster with an FE engine. Keith Craft proposed a Blue Thunder intake combined with a set of early, re-worked high performance heads. I assume the intake is a medium riser reproduction and the heads are typical of low riser heads. Bob at ERA showed me pictures of an ERA car in their shop with a medium riser dual quad intake and it requires a hood scoop - lacks clearing by about 1 inch. Sooo - what dual quad intake did Shelby use in the Street Cobra Roadster that managed to clear - a low riser seems to be the default answer. Are there any reproductions comparable to the low riser or do I need to be shopping Ebay? Or, am I missing something else here?
