351 with Cobra air cleaner...... issue with hood scoop fitment?

[boat737]

What Im curious about is when I look at so many pics with my setup, the rear part of the air cleaner is sitting below the fiberglass lip of the body. In my case I had to take some out to get clearance. I have a low profile manifold (4.71”), is the Fitech EFI much higher than a carb? My block is sitting in the mounts, oil pan even/level with the bottom of the crossmember. Why does mine seem high? It still looks like it might fit but will not know officially until the hood is actually cut to size.

Looking at your hood area lip, and my hood area lip, mine seems shorter. It's hard to tell for sure, but the relief you put in the lip looks about the same as my lip edge all the way across. I didn't trim down that area at all. FFR change the edge there? Not sure what the differences are. (Maybe a good time for the Jeff twins to ring in again...??)

Edit: Just noticed something on your photo. The lip area near the master cylinder access panel is closer together than mine, looks to be almost touching. Do you have the bulb seal and foam strip installed on the frame and panels? Without it the body will probably sit 1/2 inch or so low.
