Performer rpm question

[StJamesAuto]

Will a performer RPM intake and 4 barrel Holley fit with no hood clearance issues? Thanks!

I doubt it unless you leave the air cleaner off.

My Preformer just barely fit with an extremely low air cleaner. Only 1/8"-3/16" of hood clearance.

Now, if you have a body lift, it just may fit.

I think with a 302, stock hood and no body lift is doable but would be very tight. Your choice of air filter/cleaner would be key. I'm thinking a drop base air cleaner with a 2" filter maybe.
Good luck.

I have this same question and have since I had my engine built.

I will be installing this intake on a 351W with a 2" BL and WH extreme motor mounts.

I'm thinking I will need a new hood with additional room...

I'm running the performer rpm, with edelbrock 4 barrel on my 289 and it fits. Drop base 14"x2" air cleaner.

Maybe the reason mine was so close was the old scrunched body mounts that were on there.%)
