I do....and it does clear the stock hood. I have a Holley carb on mine...of course it takes a drop base air cleaner to make it clear.

drop base cleaner and you should be good.

My edelbrock performer EPS intake and 2" regular open element air cleaner barely fits. The wing nut has about 1/8" clearance!
