I have a 1974 GTS with a 351w 2v, I have a weiand stealth Intake and 600 cfm street warrior carb that I’d like to put on. My question is will these work with the stock 2bbl heads from 1974? Also do you think I’ll have enough clearance for the hood with the new setup?

If you have a Windsor 351 and not a Cleveland, then the heads are basically the same for all variations(2bbl versus 4bbl). Only the Cleveland had unique massive differences between the heads, 2V or 4V. So almost any 351W intake will fit your engine/heads, and the Weiand Stealth shouldn't be a tall enough intake to have any hood issue.

If a 460 fits under the hood, the Stealth intake will too.

should fit fine, my buddy had a 351w with a performer air gap on his 74 and it was fine and those are a lot taller intakes!

Even with a 1" carb spacer with an air gap intake, it was just the wingnut on the air cleaner that's close to hitting on mine before I cut up the hood.

FWIW Summit info shows the Edelbrock Airgap .305" taller than the Weiand Stealth
