I ran the performer 289 intake and the edelbrock on Newport and I no issues under the hood with a small air cleaner.
Now to date I am running a cast iron 2v intake and a 2100 motorcraft carb and I have a blast wheeling.
I miss the 4bbl. but I can still pull a second gear scratch with the 2v.
Since the RPM is about 1in taller than the performer manifold you will have air cleaner issues. even dopped base may not cut it. unless you have a body lift. You might be able to run the stock 2v aircleaner setup tho. only other option is to cut a hole in the hood and run a hood scoop to gain the needed clearance.
I like the RPM manifold better than the perfromer.
Some adjusting required may be needed on clutch linkage if manual, shifter linkage on either tranny, accelerator, possibly fan shroud, new body mounting bolts and a few others I'm sure I've forgotten. No real big deal.
