Without the Airgrabber I'll be using a 3/4" drop base... "The Armies of our ancestors were lucky, in that they were not trailed by a second army of pencil pushers."

An inch is not a lot of room , you'll have to run a shorter height air filter and that will restrict airflow , but you could use a KN filter top? What carb , does it have an air horn ? if a 14" air filter will not fit inside the air seal holder a 13" should.

I modified a fibre glass air grabber base by cutting a large hole in it and fitting it to a 1 1/2" drop down base. I just use a drop down air cleaner base these days. 1970 Road Runner 505 cid MCH CNC ported Stealth heads MP 528 camshaft 4 speed GV overdrive 11.98 @ 117 on street treads

The manifold and a carb will fit , it's the air cleaner that is the problem. What carb are you going to use ?

The pictures of the 70 above show it can be done ... on a 70 which has a raised center on the hood ... I don't know how much more higher that hood pokes up vs. a 69 hood ...

I have spent some time measuring and estimating the minimum room you need between the carb top, and the hood,....no less than 2", if everything is right. That assumes a roundy-round type air cleaner and a carb without a choke tower.

The Eddy RPM is such a popular intake, I am surprised more don't have clear cut advise on the clearance for your vehicle. I am using a no-choke Holley 4160 and RPM. I haven't dropped my engine yet and face the same dilema, albeit, I don't have the fresh air setup. The guy who does fiberglass bases for air grabbers is Steve, goes by the name Paint It Black. I would try to retain your air grabber if you can. If not, my birthday is in march. I’m listening.

The RPM will fit under and flat hood but you will need to call Summit and order an air cleaner assembly. I used a 14x3 w/ a 1 3/4" drop for my old 67 coronet.
