383 with edlebrock performer RPM hood clearance

Thanks for the info, that's a good Tip ..
I like that you painted the intake engine color makes it look factory...
I was able to stop the order on the performer RPM Intake.. I am looking at the regular edelbrock performer but not sure if it will make much of a difference over my stock cast iron intake...

For your information, I have a 400 block with a Holley Street Dominator manifold, 750 DP, and a 1/4 inch heat insulating spacer under the carb. The stock air cleaner fit, but it was so close it was rattling on the hood bracing when the engine was running. I used clay and determined the clearance. I ended up trimming the bracing a little, since my car is far from stock. As you can see, the issues are at the front right corner and at the very back.
