If you've decided that you are (for sure) going to do the project, just pull the BB out and do what the chassis builders do; install a dummy small block with heads and a "mock-up" of the intake you think you're going to use. Sounds like you intend to get carb-to-hood clearance by adjusting the height of the intake and/or carb spacers, because you don't want to lower the engine, and this technique would allow you to achieve that. Also, an interesting engine/chassis combination...
