The reason I asked is this car had one on from a big block and we needed to cut the inner to get the hood to close. Big blocks sit taller. Its not the intake because we also have 340 air cleaners and the fit. And other 340 cars with this same intake and no issue.
Yeah, the air cleaner on mine was def from a 2-bbl carb. Lower profile, and fits fine. I have a 340 intake and 4 bbl carb off a '70's Dart that I was considering putting on my 318, but I think I might be creating more issues for myself...
