boy that's going to be hard. I guess you could always go with a Paxyon "carb box" instead of a bonnet. That might help w/ the height. A good carb bonnet is going to be about 3" taller than the carb. Do you have 3"'s to spare w/ that intake? You might also have to cut some of your hood supports. You should probably use a junky stock hood to check 1st.

they make low profile carb bonnets (don't believe they flow to well though) or you could try and machine some material off the top of the intake
