Ok, I have to run tall valve covers to clear my valvetrain. I was supposed to get a box intake but that has fallen trough. I am running a solid roller cam. So I would like to have access to the covers without pulling the upper. I have a spacer already and undrestand that I will need a cowl hood to clear the raised intake. Is there anything out there that works best for this situation? I think i have seen pics of an edelbrock that has shorter runners that might work. Has anyone used one like that? Thanks

oops, didn't read that u already have spacer.:...short runner intakes will help, but unless you have a strong motor, you'll sacrifice too much torque. and even with the short runner, the intake tubing is still very much in the way. go carb!
