Default BB Oval port intake for L88 hood and air box

OK after going through several searches I'm still confused.
I need an intake to replace a Team G on a solid lifter big block stroker with mid 60s reworked oval port iron heads that puts out a little over 500 H/P because it's way to tall. I'm not looking for every last ounce of power. I would be happy with something that will fit under the hood with little or no drama without choking the motor. From what I've read A Holley Dominator will work but they have to be found used. I think a Performer RPM, a Performer RPM Air Gap, and a Weiand Stealth may work. They are all near/about 5.5" tall. The GM hi/perf intake is 4.5" tall which should fit with room to spare. Suggestions please. Thanks.

All 3 intakes you listed should fit and serve the purpose, although I've never seen or heard of the Stealth being used by a BB L-88 hood owner. I went with the RPM Air Gap with the same hood/airbox you have and am very happy with fit & performance.

Wow, I didn't realize that intake was designed for such a high RPM powerband! I'm guessing his motor is more street oriented- at least I hope so for his sake.

I'm running a Weiand Stealth #8018 intake on the BB in my 69 with a factory L88 style air cleaner and foam seal. It matches up to the cold air intake and Ecklers L88 hood and cold air chamber very nice.

Neither did I. This motor will not be seeing over 6500 RPMs so I'll decide on one of the 2 Performers or the Stealth since it looks like all 3 of them should fit with little or no difficulty.

I appreciate everyone's help.
