Power bulge.

Or get a Rockwatt manifold and an SU HIF44 carburettor.

There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

That is quite a gap. A samurai bonnet will give you a bit more room but probably still not enough. Can you modify the air intake so it doesnt go accross the top of the engine?

Or a body lift would probably sort it.

Drivers side needs the spreader plate removing and the box bit drilling so the rubber mount bolts direct to it.

That'll drop it a bit.
