I don't know anything about big blocks, but a lot of the guys here do. They'll need to know what intake manifold you're using to answer your question.
does the Elite series air cleaner have a drop down base? if so, i wouldn't think you'd have any trouble. if it doesn't, and you have a hi-rise intake, you might have a problem. i'm not sure how much room there is on a '68 as compared to 70-72's, but my 71 with stock flat hood had a 454 with a strip dominator intake, nos plate, and a 4" element all under the hood with a drop down base air cleaner.
