Not sure about what kind of hood clearance there would be with a high rise intake. I'd be using an open element air cleaner too. Thanks in advance.

Yea, it will fit under the hood... just allow a lead time for QC'ing the manifold and making sure the ports and bolt holes line up properly, Edelcrock doesnt bother to do that at the factory.
