Ron,
I had a similar problem with hood clearance on my EM (351W with Edelbrock carb and oval air cleaner). With the standard spacer, the air cleaner hit the hood. Without the spacer the air cleaner interfered with the carb. I had to cut down the spacer .300" in order for it to clear both the hood and the carb. Sounds like your fit is even tighter. How many bolt heads are interfering? Do you need all of them? Can you move the bolt location?
