If you have time, could you take measurements of the height/width based on various common points of the engine?, i.e. measurement points that are common to all blocks.

At the rear, it is 13.25" from the block casting where the distributor mounts to the highest point of the blower lid. This is ~ 1" lower than the factory air cleaner on a 1st gen firebird.

The front is 11.25" from the center line of the two top water pump bolts to the highest point of the blower lid.
