I need to know if anyone has a Stealth inatke and a Road Demon carb on a 67 289. If so, have you expereinced any clearnace issues? What kind of air cleaner do you use?

I don't mean to hi-jack your thread , but i also need to know if there are any clearance issues using a stealth intake w/ an edelbrock performer under a 68 with a stock hood?

Back in the 80's I ran a 390 and later a 427 lowriser with a 428PI intake, and a factory 1" spacer ( if I recall correctly) and a Holley 780 carb, without problems using a 289 Hi-po style aircleaner. with a 2 1/2" tall filter. A 289 with a stealth or any other aftermarket intake shouldn't be a problem on a 67

I ran a Stealth intake & Edelbrock carb & had to use a lowered base air cleaner to gain a little more clearance.

You should fit with a drop base (be careful, too low and it hits the linkages) My car is a 66 with a 302, victor jr. intake and holley dp and it fits pretty good. Also, done forget anything on the top of the air cleaner as will make your hood look like its growing a nipple.

A friend had a 68 with a performer RPM and a Holley on a 351 with a aluminum "COBRA" oval air cleaner assembly and it fit without any clearance issues. 289/302 is a lot shorter so it shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you for your responses. Looking to buy a Road Demon and Stealth intake soon. I will let you know how it turns out.
