I did not know they have a new site !
What's the link ?

It's not clear which intake manifolds were used for these measurements, and that's a big factor when considering overall height. I've got an Email Performer 460 on mine and hood clearance is minimal. A Weiand Stealth or Edelbrock Performer RPM would require a taller hood scoop - most likely the Shell Valley taller version (3.5" IIRC).

I'll check it out.
With my first 428FE build, I had the Edelbrock RPM, when I rebuilt the motor I changed to the Edelbrock Air Gap and I had to mill off 3/8" off the carb surface so the hood would close. On the dyno, it did not change the fuel curve, jetting or TQ/HP.
I don't mind making new motor mounts to lower the engine, but I don't want a clearance issue with the
oil pan or flywheel/cover, I'm already a lot lower than the original LSC height.
THANKFULLY,.......lol
