Can you get a Gen 3 tall enough to go through a hood?

It's a bigger problem to keep gen 3 **** UNDER the hood of an A Body. I have a Prefix/Arrow short single plane on a 6.1 in my son's 73 Scamp. No spacer, 750 DP carb. No air cleaner will fit. No drop base, NOTHING. I had a 6.1 based 426 in a 74 Swinger with Ritter drag pak knock off intake. TOTALLY through the hood. That Holley Hi Ram will absolutely require a hole.
