Here it is. It's the 330hp crate engine with TBI intake (but carb RPM intake w/adaptor). The reason I have that dinky problow air cleaner is hood clearance issues. The adaptor plate is 1" and the RPM intake is already taller than the performer. I even had to jack the hood corners a 1/2" AND cut out some underbracing. I need a cowl hood!

Why so much taller? Is that just because of the intake?

Makes me wonder how well my new engine with a Performer RPM Air-Gap intake and a carb is gonna fit.

The RPM air gap is the same height as the RPM. So you'll have an inch more than me. That should be plenty to run a 14x3 drop base.
