Grab some play-doh or modeling clay and take some measurements

on an RB Block,
I think for a single plane Intake Manifold with factory style Air Cleaners, the Holley Street Dominator is about all that clears for sure that I know of.  It's sold under Part #300-14.

The Dual Plane Edelbrock Performer rpm can be made to fit with Air Cleaner fab/work, but it's tight.

I think that Edelbrock lists their manifold heights on the Summit website.
