If you just want to run the hood without the fiberglass under the hood you have more room. I run a RPM on my 70 with a 2.5" drop base and my lid just hits the bulge hood.

Ken, With the RPM, how is it with the air grabber 440 base? I have a '71, but the clearance should be the same. Jim

Jim I could probably get the base on but never the top half which seals it to the hood.

It will never breath like the taller Manifolds do though. I know, it sucks, I'd really like to run my air grabber hood too, someday maybe...

I bought a fibreglass air cleaner base and cut a large hole in the middle (around 13"), then fibreglassed a 1 3/4" drop-base to it. Hood clears the air cleaner and the base seals nicely. 5734681-IMG_1950s.JPG (40 downloads) 1970 Road Runner 505 cid MCH CNC ported Stealth heads MP 528 camshaft 4 speed GV overdrive 11.98 @ 117 on street treads

To make it work I had to cut down the air grabber base so that the air horn of the carb. was about level with the flat part of the base, so there was no neck to the aircleaner housing at all. I used a reproduction base as not to ruin my original, cut out 5" carb. opening and welded all back together, had it powdercoated, and it looks original. A little work, but looks great and the airgrabber works!
