Looking at my intake again, the Gutsram V shaped plenum (with Holley Top and Bottom Piece), I think you could remove about an inch (or a bit more) from the Bottom side of the Holley Piece (Retaining the upper lid mounting bolt pattern flange) and still have adequate plenum volume. In my case when I removed the Upper Nash Dual Quad plenum I just had the runners so I had to get some of that plenum back with the Upper and Lower Holley pieces.
