Hello again everyone.

I'm shopping around for air cleaners right now. This inside of my little edelbrock foam triangle got a little burnt from some starter fluid spray. That was always just my temporary one though. I always liked the idea of the ram air plenum, but I don't know if it will work with a 351W. I also have an aftermarket edelbrock intake manifold.

Anyone out there tried this? Can anyone provide me with measurements to compare?

The way I'm looking at it; the two measurement that matter are as follow:

1. Where is the center of the carb in relation to the hood?

2. How much clearance is required between the hood and the air cleaner mounting ring on the carb?

I feel like I actually have a lot of vertical clearance and may actually have to add a carb or air cleaner spacer to make it higher. I could be wrong though.

I am a little worried that my carb sits too close to the firewall, but only some measurements to compare to will tell.

Any other recommendations if the plenum won't work?
