My K&N aftermarket base didn't clear the fuel inlet for the performer 600 on my 351. You can buy an adapter that repositions the inlet for better clearence for about 10 bucks, but I used a 1" spacer between the top of the carb and the base since I already had one.
I'm pretty sure the stock base will also run into this problem.
