Intake Manifold Question

Intake Manifold Question
Okay - I'll admit, I am being totally lazy because I am sure I could search on the forums here and find the answer.
I have a 71 Cutlass / 455 motor - I kept the 350 frame mounts and 350 engine mounts.
I wanted to switch from an Edelbrock Performer to the Torker, but was concerned with the hood clearance. I thought because with those mounts the engine sat a bit higher, and the Torker is an inch taller than the performer manifold it may not clear the hood. A friend told me it should be fine, but thought I would check here with people that actually have experience.
Thanks...Tim

Once again, the crank centerline is in EXACTLY the same place so long as the rubber mounts match the frame pads.

Yea, definitely will need to be addressed at some point. I have never gotten the Performer to seal well and was going to make another attempt. Then I saw someone with a used Torker fairly priced so thought it may be fun to try it.

I doubt the Torker will be a good match to that axle ratio.
