Thanks for the update it helps a lot.
On the Intake , mine has a Edelbrock Super Victor #2924. about the tallest they make for that motor. Also a 1/2" phenolic spacer. Carb was a 750 4150HP and now a FiTech EFI unit. Both cleared fine using a 14" round (3" filter) air cleaner with drop base. I switched to a Edelbrock Pro Flo air cleaner last month (#10023) Had to remove the phenolic spacer. Not needed with the EFI anyways.
