I am putting a bbc in my g body but need an intake. What intakes fit under the hood and what do most people run? I was thinking a performer as it is a stock 454 with a edelbrock performer cam going in it. I actually like Weiand stuff but am not stuck on it. I am guessing stay away from the single plane manifold.....

Single plane will be too high. Dual plane will fit, but need to run a small air filter and/or a dropped base. Every car I had a big block in had a cowl hood, so dunno bout the fitment with a stock hood....

Edelbrock rpm air gap intake, holley 950 3 barrel carb, drop base air filter with a 3x14 K&N air filter and a summit racing breath through top. all fits under the stock hood, it is a tight fit, but it fits.

IIRC Weiand Stealth manifold is the lowest of the two (Edelbrock/Weiand). Worked great in my 86 Monte. Ran low 11's High 10's This way. I did also change that air filter later on to a 14x3. Good Luck
