1963 Dodge Polara Cross Ram Height Issue

Has anyone had difficulty fitting the MP cross ram setup using Indy Heads, (I am using the 440-C Indy head) under the hood of a 63 Dodge. The front carb air horn seems to be above the hood line. I have Indy's dual plane max wedge intake on it now with an 850 cfm carb and had to use an ultra low profile Moroso air cleaner to fit under the hood.
From some of the real max wedge cars that I have seen - the manifold surface seems lower down in the engine bay.
I can trim the carb levers to remove the spacers, but do I need to shim the K frame, I heard this used to be done back in the day!

Thanks

Picture now with the single carb

yes remove spacers and trim that lower carb lever

If the Indy Wedge heads are like the Hemi heads they sell thay are a raised port which will raise the intake?

Yes - the ports are raised. Looks like the manifold is about 3/4" up off the valley rail - with a 1/2" spacer under the carb maybe that is enough to cause the height issue. I will probably remove the spacer and just keep the smaller billet air cleaners that can protrude slightly through the cutouts in the hood.

Thanks

Here a good picture of how high the air horns are.

Thanks

Now im curious to see how high my carbs will be with the low deck build and this intake...

What heads are you using ?

The Indy heads have raised intake ports and the heads are wider than stock heads so that they do not require intake spacers like a MP stage 6 head does.

It's not surprising that he has clearance issues ...
