intake ?

so what do guys do that have to 6-pack hood and have one carb to get it up there

You can always put a spacer between the intake and the carb to increase the height. Just make sure you know what effect the increased plenum volume is going to have on your engine combo - may be either negative or positive depending on your combination and what style spacer your use.
There's a lot more science that goes into this than just thinking "raise the carb to make it look cool".
