I have a 1966chevelle ss 396. I have a problem with hood clearance. I don't even have enough room to put a stock open element air cleaner on it. I have a edlebrock performer intake and performer carb. The block is a 402ci out of a 70 chevelle. It has the motor mounts from a 70 too. Could this be the problem? Any info would be appreiciated thanks!

Troy,
Does your air cleaner have the recessed base?

Drop base aircleaner assy. or a smaller filter element, such as going from a 4 in. to a 2 in. If all else fails, suck it up and buy a cowl hood http://www.chevelles.com/forum/wink.gif
