Default Can someone give me a quick height measurement of their FE Weber setup?

I have to make a decision NOW on if I use Webers or a single 4bbl. I think it'll be a 4bbl as I don't believe that Webers will fit under my hood. However, if I go 4bbl without ever measuring, I'll always wonder. I would definitely need the intake that slants the carbs inward toward the center of the engine. Can someone who has this setup on a FE do a quick height measurement for me? What I need is:

-Height from front and rear block to intake mating surfaces (measured from the block) to the top of the air horns.

-Height of your air horns from where they meet the carb body to the highest part of the air horns.

-If possible, make of intake and if it's the slanted model. Obviously, it has to be on a FE engine.

Thanks to anyone who can do this.

I'm not where I can measure anytime soon, but I have 48 IDAs on my 427 center oiler. I have a 1991 Contemporary and an Inglese slanted intake manifold. I am using standard height venturies and horns and I have no clearance probles at all. Hope that helps.

My Contemporary was originally a 351C car, and I was fortunate enough to con Mickmate into coming down to my home to fabricate an awesome set of original looking FE mounts and weld them into the car. The engine height is set perfectly just like an original referencing the frame rails, but I don't know where that results with reference to the height that CCX cars originally set up from the factory set their engine height. That's why I need measurements. Thanks guys - if anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
