I have a 350 with edel. performer rpm intake, and a edel. 1411 carb and this is the hood I was going to use:

https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/atta...0125-00084.jpg

but it met with an unfortunate accident. so now I have to either buy a $500 hood (ss or cowl). or I have to find a air cleaner that will fit under the stock (perfectly good) hood. a 14in drop base hits the dizzy and the fuel line inlet will have to have a 90degree 3/8npt to hose barb put in. help please!!!! oh and I'm using oem rubber motor mounts.

 

maybe this will help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFTX...ature=youtu.be

 

what dist/cap are you using? i have a edelbrock 14x3 drop base on mine, mallory 85 has a big cap and it still clears by a hair. cant help with the fuel, i have a DP

 

Big style hei cap. I read somewhere that ppl had success with mr gasket 4339 with just a little mod. this is the one I bought at first http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KYS-100-68826B

 

i think this is mine, they have one that has more drop but then in the notes it says you have to add a spacer so its less drop over all, doesnt make any sense. this one fits edelbrock and 4150 carbs without messing with it

not 100 percent sure because i got a whole edelbrock dress up kit at a local speed shop. that seems the same though

 

thx, but does it clear the dizzy? and does it work with the straight inlet hose barb connection?

 

It does clear, I didnt have to do anything like dent it or anything


notes for 1221 .6inch drop air cleaner;
Designed to fit all Edelbrock squarebore and Q-jet carburetors.

1207- notes for the 1inch drop one;
When using this air cleaner with Edelbrock squarebore electric choke carburetors a 3/4 in. spacer must be used. When using this air cleaner with Edelbrock manual choke carburetors a banjo style fuel inlet fitting must used. Click the Suggested Parts tab for more information.

 

thk u so much

 

jw so far so good I believe it will work when I get off work I will try to put the hood on and close it. I got the 1221

 

should take a pic and post it, seems like a pretty common question

 

will do

 

nope jw, it doesn't fit the hood is of course riding on top of the filter lid. tilting back and forth like a see-saw. does anybody else have a combination close to this and making it work with the stock hood? or am I the only trying to?

350 engine, performer rpm vortec intake, edelbrock 1411 carb,

 

just thught about a 2in element or will this starve the carb for air?

 

just saw that you had vortec heads and intake, that stuff is different. sorry

 

I didn't want to use this hood because it needed a paint job and a few dents from being accidentally ran over (is good to pay attention) but I have to admit It fits like a glove.

 

dagblasted!!!! I didn't know that the shift cable for the v6 is shorter than for the v8. do they make an adapter?

 

1221 air cleaner base did clear this hood with 2.5in filter but b/c of daage to hood the hood wont lay like it is supposed to, so I have to go with stock for now but If I git rid of wing nut,threaded rod and git reg. bolt go into the carb for the air cleaner and git the 1480a filter it will fit like a glove thx fellas.
