Its 1.9" above the fender line at the front of the shock tower. When you try to close the hood the latch to clasp is 2.5" away.

No its a 9" deck but when i put the tall valve covers on to accommodate the roller rockers i had to use a 1" spacer between the intakes so the throttle cable wouldnt bind.

Just to be clear 8.2" = 302 based
9.5" is a 351

Need pic rotated, and less deck height talk. Youre all cute ladies, no need to fight.
