Does anyone know how much higher an Air Gap manifold is, compared to the Torker?

 

Yes.

 

Jes had t' jerk yer chain.

Now, here's the answer.

Compared to an OEM 1970 Cutlass 455 intake...
A Performer is 1.65" taller
A Torker is 1.75" taller
An Air Gap is 2.24" taller

And the next answer is, yes, there is a way to fit an Air Gap under an OAI hood. Use a Chevelle Cowl Induction air cleaner adapter with W-30 foam on top. You won't have the Olds flapper assembly anymore, but it will fit.

 

Thanks for the reply. I have 67 skylark convertible with a olds 455 in it. It has the Torker but I'm thinking of going with the air gap. I don't have any issues with clearance with a full size aftermarket air cleaner so I'm thinking if it's only a half inch more im good. The motor is being rebuilt now so I might just go that route
