Hood clearance

I USE THE Edelbrock D4B dual plane plane intake manifold and the 273 commando factory recommended filter size and i even have a 1/4 spacer between AVS2 650 CFM carb airhorn and air cleaner base... yes, it is close, but does NOT touch even when I am laying hard into the throttle slamming gears.. however I do use a engine torque strap that have rubber bushings that let it flex a little...
The one photo shows it with hood fully shut !
