The intake height is an issue with a 385 and have enough room for an air cleaner under stock hood. Mine has a Performer RPM with slightly raised hood scoop to be able to fit in a 14"x3" K&N filter with Extreme top when competing otherwise run a Stellings for show.

With my Tremec and it's OD regeared the 9" to 3:70 the rollon's are painful cruising is very comfortable all things considered. I went with under car competition exhaust so long hauls are easy on the head and ears.

Most important is getting the intial engine height right.
