It's a tight fit. Only about a half inch clearance to the hood in few spots. I run a poly lock mount on the driver side--you want LIMITED motor movement!
Had to mod the support bracket on top too,in order to clear the Holley bowl vents
For those embarking on this base with me, I highly recommend contacting Schumacher and buying his motor tie down, or at least his motor mounts. Its tight and if you have a motor mount start to go bad on you, your air cleaner will slap the underside of the hood. I had this happen on my Cuda with a different setup when an old mount went bad. Now I run the poly lock mounts AND the motor tie down. Its not as rough a ride as people tell you. I hardly notice it, and kinda like the firmness.

"There was no Air Grabber assembly on the bottom side of the hood, but I have faith that the base will still work with AG assembly- equipped cars (need a guinea pig)."
Are you still needing that 'guinea pig'? I'm game. 72 roadrunner 440 with RPM intake and airgrabber. 
In Texas, the only guinea pigs we have are the ones who pay full price. But a lot of latitude is given on returns, and I'll even enclose a prepaid return Fedex slip in case it doesn't work. Your risk is limited to the first shipping charge. This is my only form of R&D. Its worked well for 8 years. A few guys said this couldn't be done. I'm trying my damndest to prove the naysayers wrong. At least we've got a partial win under our belt. The thing fits under a stock hood. Now lets get it to fit the assembly and move to the next challenge. The response to this application is all I'm taking calls for lately... everyone is coming outta the wood work. It'd give me the warm/fuzzys to help these folks... PM me and we'll get started.
