The Hurricanes are notorious for very little clearance, based on the way engine sits in the chassis in relationship to the body mounting. As little as 2.5-3" inches has been noted by some in our owner forum. I have a 427 FE with an Armando pan and with Avid tires I have 5" with me in it, so I feel very fortunate. I trimmed the Lakewood and block plate all the way up to where the lowest curved point is. I'd say 6" is great clearance.
