While some low-rise Edelbrock intakes *might* work with careful selection and potentially some modification (e.g., shortening the air cleaner), it's a gamble. You'll need to:
* Identify the specific Edelbrock intake manifold: Edelbrock makes many manifolds, and their heights vary considerably. You need the *exact* part number to check its dimensions.
* Measure the height: Find the height of the manifold *with* the carburetor and air cleaner installed.
* Measure the hood clearance: Carefully measure the space available under your Shaker hood. This requires removing the existing intake and measuring from the top of the engine block to the underside of the hood. Account for potential variations across the hood.
* Consider the air cleaner: The air cleaner is a significant factor; a low-profile air cleaner is crucial.
Even with precise measurements, there's a strong chance it won't fit without significant modification, which might impact the functionality and potentially void warranties. Many people opt for a less extreme hood setup or a different intake system (like a low-profile EFI setup) for better compatibility with the Shaker hood.
