Holley SA Carb, 351W, stock 302 mounting - how high?

How high have you guys found the air cleaner to be when all is said and done on the motor swap from 302's to a Windsor????

I am thinking of what hood to get.... want to be as close to stock as possible.

You will need a 2.5" Cowl Hood. Anything lower is tight (Depending on what intake) and you will need a drop base air cleaner.

I have a drop base cleaner and a victor Jr (tall manifold). The air cleaner stickes up about 2 inches above the tops of the fenders with a strait edge across there and the hood open. With drop motor mounts and a shorter manifold, you could get it under a stock hood!

BTW with my tall manifold and my cobra R cowl hood, I still have to run a drop base. I have a K&N extreme air filter. The one with the filter in the lid!

Hmmm a stormin norman.... would that fit with the dropped base air cleaner and stock engine mounts... I'd open the ducts up to force air at the filter element....
