Strut Tower Brace for Carbs

Does anyone make a strut tower brace for carbed/root blower applications? It seems that the brace will hit my air filter, or do the regular ones fit?

I have the Edelbrock one on my TBI. I'm not sure if it would fit or not because the A/C and Alt are switched around with different brackets.

Nice engine!

That bar looks like it wouldn't fit a stock TBI with the single snorkel. Anyone know one that would?
