Or get a Rockwatt manifold and an SU HIF44 carburettor.

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.

Have you got pictures of how you have the mounts set up?

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.
