I have a 69 big block with an aftermarket L88 hood and an Edelbrock Air Gap Intake/Holley Carb. I want to put a stock hood/wiper assembly back on the car but don't know which intake manifolds/carb/air cleaner will fit under the stock 427 hood. Will only the original setup work or are there alternatives that will also fit?

I had a '69 with 427; I put on a Weiand Stealth manifold and a big Demon carb - hood would not fit with almost any air cleaner.
Summit racing solved the problem with a small triangular unit, do NOT get a foam one, unless you like fires! It will work!

It won't fit.If you have oval port heads you can use the the edlebrock trocker 11 intake it will fit.Also use a low profile air cleaner.If you need the intake I have one.

You might have to use the original set-up to fit the stock 427 hood. My experience with Edelbrock manifolds and Holley carbs usually requires a very low profile air cleaner and sometimes they still touch the hood. I have two big block C3s and they both have stock carbs and hoods. I also have two Chevelles. The Holley carb fits fine with the Edelbrock manifold on the '69 but won't fit on my '72 with the cowl induction hood. I hope this helps.
