What hood to run with swap?

Hi all. Im new to this site but I have been a member of V8S10.org for years. I just started getting into the camaro scene. Im sure its been covered but, is there any intake and carb setup that will allow me to run my stock hood? Right now speed is not my main concern as I have a two barrel 305 in the car, until i finish building my real motor. Any opinions would be awesome thanks, Dustin.

From: Littleton, CO USA
Car: 82 Berlinetta/57 Bel Air
Engine: L92/LQ4 (both w/4" stroke)

Common set-up with stock hood 3rd gens is Performer RPM intake, Holley or Edelbrock square-bore intake, and a drop-base 14x3 open element air cleaner.

All factory carb and throttle body V8 air cleaners were drop-base.

Most EFI systems fit under a stock hood with no issues.

By the way, your "2 barrel" isn't a carb, it's a throttle body injection unit.
