Sure it will, Kirt. All you have to do is make the hole in
the hood big enough

Seriously, though, the F4B, with the 565-600 CFM Holley
carb, just makes it if
your motor mounts are correct, and you DON'T use a spacer
under the carb.
The front edge of the air cleaner want's to be a 'kissing
cousin' to the hood,
on the sides, even so.
The new Edelbrock Performer RPM is a close match to the
dimensions of the F4B (a
new version of the old design) with straighter and better
mixture distribution,
and will fit under the stock hood.
The Rest Will Not!
Sure, the Victor Jr. and the Torker will give you a lot more
at the high end,
but are not so good in the lower RPM range. AS in
everything you do to a car,
there is a compromise to be made. Where and how to you want
your performance
served up, and what are you willing to trade for it.
Edelbrock's catalog
details the design goals and useful applications, along with
the recommended cam
profiles.
You want a smooth idle and performance from 1500 to 5800
rpm, the Performer RPM
is the better choice. you want higher power in the higher
rpm ranges and even
beyond 6,000, the Victor Jr. or Torker are your choice. But
the cam must match
the performance range of the manifold, as should the
carburetor tuning. It will
idle like a wet dog, and limp off the line. It won't like
slow rpm running in
traffic. It will scream once you get the thing winding about
above 2800 rpm.
As they say, you pays your money, and you get your choices,
but you can't have
everything.
