I have always had good luck with the Holley Street Dominator intakes, too.

I used a Weiand dual plane intake on a E body with shaker. 440 engine. It fit fine. Don't know if these intakes are still available new. If not I am sure a used one can be located.

In order of height greater than the factory cast iron 4 bbl intake

CH4B & Weiand - 0.3-0.4"
Performer - 0.5"
Torker II - 0.8"
SD - 0.9"
Indy 2D & RPM - 1.5"

You will be fine with a CH4B

i found my CH4B intake, but it's buried behind "a little stuff". from what i could see, it has a 28something part number cast, plus the CH4B cast number. the 2836150 intake pictured is probably the CH4B intake, as it looks identical to mine without the "eldebrock" [] casting numbers.
BSB67, thank you ! you confirmed my old mind's recollection of 3/8-7/16" height difference of the CH4B.

Ditch the carb and go with an EFI throttle body.

Pretty darn short:
