    Now that my 351w is all up and running, the 14" round edelbrock air cleaner I have is too tall for hood fitment; what kind of air cleaners are any of you guys running?

    Hmm... you have a problem there.Are you running A Spacer??? you may have to go to a shorter one or eliminate the spacer all together.

    I'm not using a spacer.
    But it is possible to use a standard size round air cleaner with a 351w swap...I thought there was height issues?
