bustoff Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 just wondering if a edelbrock performer rpm air gap #7561 will fit under the hood my 72 monte with a 402 thanks love this site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripleydale Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It fit on my 71 with a 454. I haven't tried the stock air cleaner though. I have one of those open element air cleaners from Edelbrock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its Just Me Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 I have one on my big block also. I'm running a holley 750 carb and a 4" open element air filter. The air cleaner base has a 1" drop center and it looks tight to the hood, but I never measured. I would be very careful with the first hood closing if not using a drop center or a taller element. You'll like the intake, it's a very good, does everything well, manifold. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72 LS5 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I'm running the air gap rpm as well with a drop base and a 3.5 element. No issues. The 3.75 element would barely brush against my hood with no hood insulation. For my hood clearance test, I take make a loose ball of tin foil and put it on the air cleaner (play doh works too) and close the hood to the first latch, make a visual inspection, then close all the way. I love the WIX racing filters as you can get them in 1/4 inch size differences to fine tune the biggest element that will fit under your hood.

Sam (Bones) Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 like others have stated, it will fit with the proper air cleaner the air gap is probably the best "off the shelf" dual plane intake you can buy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemalibu Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Edelbrock's Super Victor is nearly an inch taller, and even it fits under our hood: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
