Hello all. Sorry my first post is a tech-type question.

I built a 351W EFI car about 6 years ago, and it was written off by a redlight runner 5 years ago. I have decided to rebuild the car.

I fit the intake, an Edlebrock 5.8 lower with a performer RPM upper under the stock hood with HPM 3/4" drop mounts and a little creative hood editing.

I can't rememeber the height of that intake now.

Does anyone know what the height of the Edelbrock intake is, or the difference in height from stock? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Also, I am looking at using a different intake, maybe a TrickFlow. Does anyone know the height of this intake, or have any experience trying to fit one under a stock hood?

Any and all help is appreciated. Thankls in advance.
