Hello Everyone...hoping someone has run into this problem and might have a solution. I'm running a SBC with the FFR motormounts. I don't have enough clearance between the hood and air cleaner. Without the spinner on the filter, its resting on the air cleaner but within 1/2 of the hood clearing...The carb is a Holley Street Avenger 570 with a Holley Powershot air cleaner (2 5/8 inch height from carb flange). An extra inch would probably clear everything.

-The lowest profile air cleaner will only provide me 1/8 inch extra clearance
-Does anyone know how much extra clearance over the supplied hood, the FFR Extra Clearance Hood has at 29 inches from the front? I know that it starts at 1.5 inches addtional clearance and then tapers back.

-Would it be cheaper to have a cowl put into this hood?

I'm sure there is a solution and probably several that I haven't thought of.....any suggestions? Thanks for your help!
