They do make recessed-bases for those 14 inch air cleaners, which would drop the top about 1-1/2 inches. That might still be tight on your engine, but just something to ponder:

14 inch air cleaner recessed base

I had the tape measure out, and was measuring for the Scott Drake air cleaner and valve covers about 4 hours after unloading my car from the trailer the day I brought it home

I still have about 3/4 inch of clearance between the air cleaner lid and the underside of the hood.
