Obviously manifold selection will impact hood clearance. The one in the left picture appears to be an old Offy 360 single plane. Not the best from a flow standpoint.

As with any custom EFI setup, the configuration and the amount you spend is a function of your skills and checkbook. For the technogeeks among us, the MegaSquirt is a low cost programmable controller that requires skill and a lot of hands-on to get running. My personal favorite is using the TBI injection from an 87-91 Chevy 454 truck. It bolts to the stock intake (the TBI 454 motors used an adapter and a Qjet intake) and the displacement is close enough for it to work as-is on a relatively stock 455 motor.
