Aftermarket intake/carb/air cleaner combo that will work with 59 hood clearence?

[Charlie C.]

I am about to pull the numbers matching 283 for a total rebuild.
To keep my C1 running I will swap in a well rebuilt 350 that I have had on a stand for a few years . I plan to use the 350 in a future project , eventually , so want good parts on it. At present the 350 does not have a carb/intake/air cleaner and I need some advice on what combination of aftermarket Intake Manifold/Carb/Air Cleaner will allow me to clear the 59 Hood
I am told that a Edelbrock Performer #2101, 600 series Carb #1406 and a Mr Gasket low profile air cleaner should work to clear the hood, but I would like to verify it with someone that has actually used the combination on a C1
Thanks Charlie Campos

The October issue of "Vette" Magazine has an article on a 57 that uses a Holly Carb and an Edelbrock High Rise intake. A Stellings air ceaner is used. It has a very low profile. I hope this scan came out alright.
