Hood
I don't know what engine block you have - 9.8 or 10.2 tall deck. I have a 572 tall deck and it fits under stock 67 Stinger Hood. I had to change from a Single Plane Manifold to Dual Plane and this reduced height. I also had to take .400 off intake carb base.
This is a possible option if you don't want to raise hood.

You can take a look at my pictures for an idea. I'm in the process of repainting the car and will be replacing the hood. I changed the intake and got a drop base air cleaner. Now everything should clear.

Looks good I have the problem with the intake and carb being too tall and the solid motor mounts pushed the whole thing up. I am cutting the hood so the top of carb and air cleaner fit. I will post pics when I get it figured out!!

How about installing the L88 air intake system in your 67 hood? that way you will get some more air cleaner clearance.
BTW I thought solid mounts were suppose to lower the motor. When you look at the pictures of them there is nothing to them and they are much smaller than the standard mounts
Have you tried spacers for your body mounts...... you can get another 3/4 inch pretty easy before you have to start making other mods.
I just put a 1/2" spacer on a 489 today with a 66 bubble hood and a already taller than stock intake. I am inside the bubble with the x-treme lid but won't know until tomorrow how well it works ( it was worth not being able to drive the car today for the much needed rain we are getting)
