What are you using for a carb ?
If you used a stock tin valley pan it's the increased height of the intake causing your issue .
Is the aircleaner top rubbing the hood or do you have a hood pad ?
running up my post count some more .

I haven't used it myself, you can buy an assorment of air filter "spacers" to raise it back up some. I think its a standard drop though, most are 1.5 inches, so you may have the same issue with any drop base. I had to run an aisr filter spacer with my drop base to avoid interference with the throttle linkage. Its either that or get a shorter filter I think. Sounds like you just need about half an inch though...

Or, space the K-frame down a wee bit. And what would that do to the suspension geometry? Might be opening up a bigger can of worms, especially if it's not just a drag racer.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.

The most drop you can have on your base and still clear an Edelbrock choke is 3/4". I was able to fit a 1" drop base on mine with a little modification to the base. The base modification did require a slight mod to the air filter element too. Great info. I will take a ball peen to it if need be. I guess I should get an aluminum one...

I used a drop bottom that wasn't as large as the top dual snorkel but with a filter to match the bottom,it worked fine as all the air still had to come through the filter and the base was not visible..67R/T with a 440..now hemi Exactly what I did. Glad to know it will work and still perform. How easy was the hemi swap. Not much room to work with my 440 and PS/PB. Getting off driver exhaust manifold a bear. Had to jack up motor.
