451 Combo under a stock 1969 Dart Hood

Okay just wanted to know if anyone has done this.
I want to fit a 451 stroker and not cut the hood up.

I have a 400 block 440 crank ready to go.

My plans are so far Edelbrock heads, RPM Air Gap manifold (if it fits).

Anyone else try this combo in theirs. This is more of a street budget build with aluminum heads.
