Has anyone done a Pontiac 301 to a Chevy 350 engine swap? I have the
What manifold is on the motor? I swapped a corvette motor into a friends 6 pot camaro. We used a 1" carb adaptor to fit a 600 CFM Holley and a big 14"x2" air filter. This actually came flush with the top of the bonnet(hood) He then decided to go with one of those huge aeroscoops to cover it.
My 305 fitted with the stock air cleaner no problem .
I can't help you with that I'm afraid, I've never been able to play with a big block over here. OTTOMH though, the motor can't be much higher than stock or the tranny (auto ?) wouldn't fit under the tunnel. Does the tranny sit level or tilting down at the back ?
Another thought is a lot of stock air cleaners are shaped so sit lower than the top of the carb and the lid can be very close to the top of the carb. Although they restrict air flow, they might give you an inch or two.
I had the Edelbrock performer dual plane which I'm sure is inches taller than the stock 2 barrel manifold. If you wan't me to check, let me know and I'll root it out & measure it.
Edelbrock's catalog or their website should have that info on it. Charles
