As in the case of this build in all likelihood the height of your intake ports on the proposed 340 cfm cylinder heads will require modifications to the Torker II intake manifold as done here. It will need TIG-welding for raised port tops in the intake, machined flat and port-matched. Nothing unusual.

I've been looking into the Northwind but I haven't yet found anyone having this intake under a stock 68 firebird hood.

I put a Northwind on a 505" in a 67 Firebird. No hood clearance issues
