It has been a LONG while since since I had my 87 bird but when I swapped a 350 in and wanted to keep the stock hood I used a Wieand Stealth manifold with edelbrock carb and topped it with a edelbrock pro-flo air cleaner otherwise it wouldn't clear. I like the stealth because at the time my mild 350 was running a 272 cam, flat top pistons and a 64c head and the rpm power range was low.
This is just my opinion of course and it was a long time ago there maybe better options now.
