TFS Track Heat manifold with TFS 240 heads on a 500 inch stroked 400. 1.5" dropped base air cleaner with a 2-5/8" filter. Gives me about .5" clearance under the stock, relatively flat, Road Runner hood.
A 2" drop base air cleaner would interfere with the throttle linkage.
Hood clearance is always an issue if you want to run the stock hood with a single plane but I agree with 496. A low deck 383/400 build helps. Just that much lower.
Thanks everyone. 6-AN / 3/8 is the direction I was leaning for this set up for a variety of reasons.
Yes, bypass regulator. Yes, return line. No EFI, 850 carb. Just an EFI pump.
Thanks for helping confirm my decision. 6-AN makes several things much simpler in this application.
Gotta love this...
Sorry if this question has been kicked around before but I couldn't find satisfaction in searching FBBO.
I'm sure I will get a 50/50 split on here as I have talking to friends and gurus I know.

Fairly good product. We put one on my son's 72 Duster and mounted it behind the driver side kick panel. Should be plenty of room there on a Bird as well.
****, they definitely can be a pure bitch. I agree with 69 Runner above.... worth a shot.
If not then maybe the DMT gasket. I remember with my son's Duster we took a Dremel with a small sanding drum on it and scrubbed out the center a bit to get it to go. If I remember right a 2x4 block and dead...
Think about it. Freezing the gasket will shrink the outside diameter making it easier to put in the tank but make it harder to put the tube in the gasket. Freezing the gasket may make it brittle and it isn't really the problem.
Insert it into the the tank freeze the neck, oil the **** out of it...
They fit tight for sure. Heating /warming the gasket expands it making it worse.
Freeze / cold the neck then lube the **** out of it with clean engine oil. Should slide right in.
Where you at in NoCo?
The only problem is that I'm not sure how much a vented filler cap actually vents the tank, in any kind of volume.
Vent it from the line going to the canister as well. Much bigger orifice.
If I remember correctly when we did my son's 72 Duster with a 318 and the canister, we simply cut the vent line to the canister low in the engine compartment then put a small K&N on the line so it could vent.
Canister totally removed. No problems.
I hope this helps.
