Can anybody tell me what hood clearance issues I might have putting an RB block in a 64 Dodge 440? I have Indy 440-1 heads on it now and want to run the 440-1 intake as well but don't want to cut the hood for clearance. Can you tell me that it will fit with not problems?? or will it be more along the lines of "it will fit if you put XXXX manifold on it with XX" spacer"?

Thanks for the help, and if I did not explain my question well enough please let me know.
 
Well this is my 440/493 in my 63 Sport Fury and I use Indy EZ heads with the Indy dual plane intake. It fits but cant go much higher as this is about 1 inch from the hood. To bad the scoop is that low as where it dips in the center it does not give any extra room for clearence. I dont know if the -1 intake is higher then their dual plane as I believe their -1 intake is the single plane. It might fit but it wont have much room to spare. Ron

I run the Max Wedge scoop but as I said it dont give much more room. This is the stock height scoop as I dont care for the taller ones out now. Seems I just like the original look and size scoop. Ron

Thanks 383man, I'll just hope for the best and see if it fits after it gets back form the body shop!
