What intake to use with dart 215CC heads?

[Malibu Monte]

My dad is building a new motor for his Nova this winter. 427 SBC Dart block with dart pro1 215 cc heads. We tried to drop his old trusty edelbrock scorpion intake on and the ports were too tall. Now we are trying to figure out what intake he should run. Does anyone know if a RPM Air gap will work? Or should we use a VIc JR/ Victor/Super Victor? We would like to not use a really hi rise intake because hood clearance is an issue.

I don't know of many intakes that are that big out of the box. You will need to pretty much grind on whatever you get. I think even the Dart intake is smaller than the port size. But a smaller intake than head is not a bad thing. It keeps velocity up that may help a larger port head. We ran the Victor Jr's on 200 cc heads and they worked well.
