On my Cleveland, I milled 0.250 off the carb bases of the intake manifold. Kind of drastic, but, helped the clearance issue quite a bit (and I think that a quarter inch of phenolic spacer is probably a better heat insulator than an extra quarter inch of aluminum in the carb base on the intake manifold).

On a 289 Cobra without a hood scoop, we added the short stacks, and shortened the venturis, with good results. Seemed to run just as good as a similarly equipped 289 Cobra with a hood scoop and standard stacks.
