Does anyone know which Chevy 194/250/292 four barrel intake manifold has the lowest profile (carb mounting height)? I am trying to maximize hood clearance in hopes of getting a 292 under the hood with an EFI throttle body and turbo hat setup. I am considering the Aussie Speed, Offenhauser, and Clifford, however I think the Clifford might be out as it is listed as only working with headers.
Alternatively, if any of you have an Offy or Clifford (or other 4 barrel) setup on a Chevy 194/250/292 could you measure the vertical height from the top of the intake port to the carb mounting surface and send along your number? The guy from Aussie Speed was kind enough to do this for me already and he said that is 30 mm (just over one inch) for their intake (but they can machine it down some).
Actually, it would be really helpful if anyone can report on the height of their EFI throttle body and turbo hat if you have them? Thanks!
