Intake manifold choice

I am putting together a 451 stroker for my 69 Dart w/ stock hood. I would like to go with the Edelbrock Performer RPM (7186) but do not know if I will have the clearance as it is taller than stock. I plan on using a Holley 750 w/ a standard 3" high x 14" diameter air cleaner. The standard Performer (2186) looks like it would fit w/ no problems, but I am looking for a bit more gumption. Any thoughts or experiences? Thanks!
