I will go first here......

Looks like a good combo with some nice potential, and a match for a Performer RPM air Gap #7551 if you have hood clearance, otherwise, a Performer #2551 will give you roughly .5 inch more hood clearance but may give up a little HP compared to the RPM.

Did you have the heads flow tested? Good move on going to the 2.125 intake valves and the higher compression JE's.

What fuel and carburetion are you planning on running?

Hopefully someone with a stock hood on a 69 can chime in and let you know for sure what intake heights will work for your car.

I know for a fact a Torker and performer will fit under a stock 69 hood.

plan on running 93 if needed with a splash of 110 fuel and still have to buy a carburetor open for suggestions on that also

I personally prefer the airgap or if you want a single plane the Port O Sonic is better than the torker. That engine will want an 850 cfm carb. I like Demon carbs over Holley
