When I had a SB in mine I had that air cleaner and it would rub (ever so slightly).

I am running a 347 with the oval air cleaner. I have a vic jr intake which is fairly tall, an I have clearance. Oddly, with the new engine, my clearance issue is now at the front of the hood scoop. It is a tight fit between the base of the cleaner and the opening of the scoop.
It is great to finally see some activity in this forum. I love my B&B. I have occasional frustrations, but overall, they are a great company. I think that their small size is there strength and their weakness.

I've got a 351W with the oval air cleaner. I too am a little tight at the front. Before paint I reworked the bottom part of the hood at the front of the air scoop. It needed straightening out anyway. It's close on top but it fits OK.
I Have both and Edelbrock RPM performer manifold and a 750 cfm Performer carb.

351 Windsor Hood Clearance
I too am at that stage. I did have a Air gap it was too tall , Then tried a stealth intake it was too tall so i guess im going with a Ededlbrock plain performer its about the shortest. I dont remember having this isue before on my old one . i think i went and redone my engine mounts. Lonny

Another hood clearance question
Hey,
Do most of the hood clearance issues come from using fuel injection or carburetors? I want to run a carbureted 351w... are there any particular intake/carburetor combinations I need to avoid for clearance reasons?

You should be fine with a carb but keep in mind you may need to run a different air cleaner other than the 20" oblong style. Most other air cleaners should fit fine. I am not sure about FI.

I guess the air gap intake is to tall and that is what edelbrock uses on there fuel injection. Also the msd distributer seems to tall unless there is a detent in the botom of the air cleaner? Its just too close to tell with out buying one. So many problems not enough money to buy my way out.
