If you have the dimensions of the carburetor in question. You can then place modeling clay on top of your air cleaner. . Close the hood gently then raise it. You should be able to accurately measure the over all clearance available based on the compressed height of the clay. I have no personal knowledge of your proposed setup.

That probably puts the carb in the same location as an rb right? Going to be tight. I have a b m1 intake, I haven't tried clay on the air cleaner so I can't say how much room i have but it's definitely close.
