i searched through the site, but couldnt really find an answer to my question. i have a 73 chally with a 318 that im just finishing the build up on. my question pertains to the hood clearance. im running an eddy performer dual plane manifold a 1 inch spacer and a mighty demon 650cfm carb. the reason im running the 1 inch spacer is to accomodate the passenger side secondary linkage, that unfortunately rubs the heat riser area of the manifold (the spacer solves this problem). with this extra 1 inch spacer will i be able to keep my original flat hood? im assuming that small blocks are not as tall as a big block, but what do i know...lol
