You may need an air cleaner with quite a bit of drop too it.

I'm currently running an edelbrock performer with a 1" carb spacer and a 1" air cleaner spacer on a drop air cleaner, and it has 1" to spare. I measured my Airgap on the engine that's about to go in it, and it measures 1" shorter than the current set-up, so I'll have about 2" to spare (I won't be running the aircleaner spacer). The airgap really isn't as tall as people think, only about 1" taller than a Performer.
