intake clearance

I purchased a 350 w/ edelbrock performer rpm intake. I did some research and found its a good intake for my application, but when I installed the engine I only have about 1.5 to 2 inches to get the air cleaner on with the stock hood. The car is too nice to replace it with an aftermarket, does anyone know a part # or product # that I can use to find the proper air cleaner.
