Your heads and intake are all "tall" port low risers, excellent performers. Equal parts to a Cobra Jet motor if it is indeed a 428...still excellent parts for a 390. I know of no intake that will lower the carb. Perhaps someone else does. If you're set on no hood scoop, lower the motor...lotsa work. I'm not that familiar with Contemporary Cobras, but they were ERA's biggest competitors (in the northeast) when they were still "alive". I never did hear the story of why they went out of business. There were enough of them made that someone should be able to tell you how to get it under the hood; how about a drop-base air cleaner?
Good Luck,

Dan
