Am I cutting a hole?

I don't know if Dart's and Cuda's have the same hood height but I have an Air-Gap on my SB with a Holley on top of it WITH a 1" spacer and it clears the hood (just barely). The trick is to find a drop base air cleaner. I got the air cleaner with the most drop there is. The drop base cleaner barely clears the carb but it gave me a lot room to the hood. BTW: it's a 3" tall filter element on it too
