I have a hood scoop and am partially into that area with my air cleaner, but I have a 1" Wilson spacer on the manifold along with their throttle body, I am pretty sure the total height is greater than a Holley carb. Check out their engine mounts they are a great design just too tall. I'll measure the distance between my china wall and the edge of the body that would be flush with the hood and send it to you tonight.

It is 13" from the FE china wall to the cowl top at the hood center line, my manifold, spacer, throttle body and air cleaner stack are just below the bottom surface of the hood at the rear.
