Performer RPM Air Gap Manifold...

Anyone have one? Is it at all possiable to use under the stock hood? I'm building a new engine and that's the manifold I want, do I have to go to a cowl induction hood??

it is real tight with the regular RPM and a drop-base air cleaner. The Air-gap is like a 1/2 inch taller.

I WOULD RATHER PUSH A CAMARO THAN DRIVE AN IMPORT

1983Z28 350w/ edelbrock performer RPM power package , dynomax shorty headers, 700R-4 with shift kit, 750cfm carb, edelbrock 3" exhaust system, ASCD SS hood, 16" IROC rims.

future mods:
completely done over suspension, black paint with flames, Hurst shifter, dakota digital gauge package, procharger supercharger.

I guess I'll be getting that 2 1/2" cowl hood I've always wanted.

It will fit, depending on what carb you go with. It fit under mine with the Edelbrock 750 with a Moroso drop base air cleaner and a little hood adjustment. I ended up having to go with a holley 700 DP and I had to get a spacer to get the secondaries accelerator pump arm off the intake, so that caused hood clearance problems. It's better off to go ahead and get a cowl hood.
