Re: 396 BB Air Cleaner
If you use a non-dropped base, you should be able to go with a 14" diameter air cleaner. That's what I have on the 454 in my '66 Suburban with a Performer intake, 750 Holley and an HEI. The RPM intake is a little taller than the Performer, so you should have even more clearance.

Re: 396 BB Air Cleaner
You might be able to find a 1.5" steel spacer off of a TBI 4.3L engine and use it on a drop base? Also they make carb spacers of various heights, maybe they would work?
Here's a pic from a latter model truck:

Re: 396 BB Air Cleaner
I believe this is the one I bought for my '66 Suburban with the 454..........it was about 28 years ago, so it may be slightly different. Bit it is the same design I am talking about with a flat base. That way it clears the distributor with no issues. There is plenty of height under the hood for a tall air cleaner.
