    I am putting a 351w in my maverick. I am going with a grabber hood so it has to clear the hood. I was thinking a performer rpm should clear but wanted to make sure.

    I have a 351W with an edelbrock performer and edelbrock carb with a drop base air cleaner in the Sprint....It fits fine.

    Yuppers...fits good! I have the performer RPM intake w/1" spacer and a BBC drop base air cleaner and still have just under 3/8" clearance with the Grabber hood...
