edelbrock 2186 performer intake

is there anyone using this intake with a air grabber set up?will it cause hood problems with holley carb set up? thanks

That intake is a factory style replacement so it should... though I've never used one with an air grabber, but they always worked with all the other stock stuff and hoods

Yes, I used it on my Ramcharger setup when I redid the Bee. The 2186 is 0.685" taller than the stock cast iron manifold. If you use a 440 air cleaner BASE instead of the 383 base with the 2186 manifold, it will fit just fine. The 440 base is 0.750" shorter than the 383 base, so you effectively end up with a combination that is 0.065" lower than the stock configuration. (a little EXTRA clearance from stock)

2186 manifold = +0.685"
440 A/F Base = -0.750"
Net difference = -0.065"

Note - My car and measurements were setup using the stock Carter AVS carburetor, I DO NOT know if a Holley carb is the same height, taller, or shorter than the Carter.
