At least under the hood. Currently running the factory 318 with a Crosswind Air-Gap knock off with a Carter AVS that is for a 1970 340/Automatic. Also have a 14" chrome air cleaner from Mancini. No clearance problems at all. Could even run a 1" spacer if I wanted-but I don't need it- the Crosswind is a very good 'grunt' manifold. Hope this helps, CC.
