Will this intake fit?

[DjTy]

I have just identified the intake which came with my rebuilt engine.
I see on the site that it doesn't fit stock corvette hoods and such.

measurements:

The Performer rpm (7101)
front: 4.20"
back: 5.25"

total average is 4.725" at the center of the carb flange

I haven't bought an airfilter yet, and I DO NOT want to cut my stock hood...

you guys think it will fit? how much do I have left for the airfilter?

i have the ede eps manifold with a 750 holley and a drop down air cleaner. it fits under the stock hood of my 78 wagon

I'm using the same intake on my Monza with factory mounts and Edelbrock carb. With a flat-base air cleaner and a 3" tall air filter you can NOT use the stock hood. You 'might' be able to use a drop-base air cleaner and 3" filter, but it will be very tight. Here's the best pic I've got showing the flat-base air cleaner with 3" filter and the hood removed.


I'm now running a 2-1/4" (or 2-1/2") fiberglass cowl hood with about 1" of clearance above the air cleaner.

tnx heinz& charlie, so I'll make a change of plans:

I want to be running a 750cfm Holley 4160 or Holleystreet avenger 670cfm

Wanting to 100% clear my stock '76 hood, then performance, which intake?
-Weiand action plus 8004 $150(low rise, but looks like spread instead of square bore.. not shiny but more rpm.. 0-6000rpm
# Height: Front 3.50", Rear 4.00"
# Port Size: 1.84" height 1.12" width


-Edelbrock Performer eps 27014 (shiny!!) $200
0-5500rpm
Manifold ht: A-3.74", B-4.80" Port exit dimensions: 1.87" x 1.15".



the engine this is going into can be seen in the link on my sig.

ok
i need to buy into this a little
WHAT manifold can i use maintaining the stock hood

thanks in advance

[DjTy]

Bump?

[AusRs]

just to bring this back to the top
research i have done shows that the weiand 8004 is only just taller than a stock manifold ........its what i have bought ,will not know if i have any issues with it for about 10 months LOL

I myself am planning on this dropbase filter over my performer eps edelbrock 27014 and holley street avenger carb:

I ran the performer RPM with a 750 DP Holley for about a year. Worked great. 72 Vega Wagon with 350. Transdapt motor set up. I used a K&N made drop base air filter bottom. (Others make the cheaper) Hood shut with no contact. I had used silly putty to make sure beforehand.

Hood clearance on a Monza is tight. I am running a old Edelbrock C3BX manifold with a Carter AFB carb (same as the new Edelbrock ones). This is a old school 2 plane "hi-rise" patterned after the late 60's Z28 manifolds. It is a taller version similiar to the Edelbrock RPM manifold. Because of this setup I had to run a drop base 14" air cleaner with a 2 1/2" K and N filter. Even with this clearance is very tight. I even milled down my wing nut for extra clearance. The edge of the air cleaner just barely touches the hood insulation. Point is, it works but you have to be very careful about what parts you select. There is no way I could run any type of spacer or insulator etc under the carb. A 2 1/2" air filter element is the smallest I could really use without choking off the carb. The combination of a taller than stock intake and a aftermarket air cleaner does need to be checked closely. Here is a pic of the intake, I think your combo may work if you select the correct air cleaner.

Do you happen to know the part number for the 2 1/2 inch K+N air filter. Thanks. AL

[cjbiagi]

K&N air filter # 3735 is a 14 x 2 1/2" element.
