Don't know if it helps, but i have +/- about 2" of clearance just eyeballing it, on the ERA. Not running spacers of any type.

Now that I'm thinking about it, I remember one of our small block weber guys with a Different brand of 289 car said he had issues when he closed the hood of his car. Said the idle would drop. I don't know technically how much room between the stacks & hood is needed, my guess is that more is better. Something to consider...

That was me that had the RPM drop when shutting the hood. I believe it is more of the underhood air becoming HOT from the exhaust headers and the A/F going Fat, causing the RPM change. Easily remedied with Right Foot.

I enlarged the opening for the hood scoop on the leading edge. Now all 8 stacks are clear of the hood by 1" vertical and 1/2" perimeter. Rear cylinders vertical are closest. Various "makes" will all have different dimensions, dependent upon engine mount and relationship of body mounting.
