I'm running a dellorto on mine and theres plenty of clearence.It has about 1" of clearence between the carb and block. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png Looks cool tho.

Do you mean intake runner length, total intake sytem height (for hood clearance), or carb height between bottom of carb and motor?

im looing for hood clearance.

how tall is the holley set up from the top of the block?



thanks

I can't comment on the Holly setup, but the Weber side draft is the lowest profile you will find. I remember looking at pics of a stock 12a and pics of a 13b with a Holly and they were both higher than the alternator with air filters(and I had to lower the alternator to clear my hood!)

I had to lower my alt too.

If I had the air filter for mine(need to order still)I think yours and my carb setups have similar clearence.I saw your engine bay pic and I'm pretty sure they are identical.
