Not sure how much of a hood clearance issue you have but on a side note the Holley street dominator is very low profile aluminum intake & is a single plane but reportedly works very well at low(er) RPM's & is a VG general purpose intake & it is fairly cheap used.
I pulled the TQ off my 1972 340 and intake and put a Street Dominator and the car was way better streetwise but think it suffered top end, till I put a Holley #4776 650DP
I should have used an LD340 and cut the center down like they said t do back then. But the Holley was $75.00 new from a guy who went with a Strip-Dom with Large Cam and made his car cool but slow
