To All; I'm doing research on my newest build. I want to put a 292 in my '57 chevy, but, I have a question concerning this combination. I'm planning to use a Fenton 2X1 intake with custom carb adapters that are 2 inches thick. The carbs measure 3 3/8 inches from mounting flange to air cleaner mounting surface. I want to use turbocharger 'bonnets' for cold air input, and these project 3 1/2 inches above the mounting surface (air cleaner) of the carb. The risers on the intake are 5/16 inch tall. Added up, this combination requires 8 13/16 between the hood and the intake manifold's main runner.
My question is: does anyone know how much room there is between the hood and the intake manifold's carb flange? (A suspect the Fenton's carb flange is pretty close to the height of the stock six's manifold. Thenks
