Hood clearance

[Mjcre]

I have a 69 RR in which I will be installing a 440. I am wondering if the eddie rpm intake will clear my hood. I do not have the air grabber option. Anyone have problems with the rpm intake clearing the hood?

Anyone have problems with the rpm intake clearing the hood?

Pretty much everybody using them unless you are using a scoop. They are almost 2" taller than the factory intake. On my Charger with a 440, the only combo that would fit comfortably for me was a 1.25" drop base, 2 5/16 K&N filter, and a K&N top. Just put a 451 with a RPM in my 69 RR. With that I used a 1 5/8" drop Proform base, 3" filter, and a Holley lid. I have 1.25" clearance to the hood with this setup but the 400 block is shorter than your 440. No hood insulation on either car.
