I already checked into that. I'd need some lower profile air cleaner, or there's not really room for a 1/2" plate kit.
Right now there's 3/4" between the air cleaner and the hood. That's a totally legit measurement using play dough.
What is has for an air filter now, which only fits because of it's small diameter which goes into the bump in the hood. At least the 70's intake manifold is a single plane.
