Edelbrock ProFlo Xt manifold for sbc

Does anybody know if this manifold will fit under a stock firebird hood?

I just got my hands on one, so I'll know for sure soon enough. I really hope it does. Having a short runner intake that fits under the hood plus not having to burn chips for tuning would be amazing.

Do an internet search for that intake. I believe that has been installed on a few C4 corvettes and they have similar (if not worse) clearance issues. I almost pulled the trigger on that intake but I reversed course when I found out that the port size is slightly smaller than a 1204 felpro gasket. It is thick walled so you can open it up but it will take many hours. The plenum height is the same as TPI but it's the throttle body that gets you really close. A used Miniram is a much better idea but unfortunately they are only coming up for sale that way every 2 months so they go quick.
If you are not going to retune the ecm switching to this intake isn't a good way to spend your money. It's Runner length is a fraction of a TPI system.
