The summit carbie you have does seem very tall and Kevin is right the air cleaner sits very high . My 411 Mk2 (high compression motor ) had a 750 holley on it and performed very poorly and used a lot of fuel. A friend of my brother Geoff who would likely be Australia's authority on all things Mopar strongly recommended going back to an original Carter (Edelbrock) 650 cfm carbie. I took his advice and it transformed the general running of the motor ( very pleased). Since then Edelbrock have released a new series the AVS2.They come in avariety of sizes and finishes, I plan to fit a 1906 to my 412 shortly.
You motor is smaller than mine but is warmed over therefore a 650 cfm like my new one would be ideal . Check the website for dimensions ( the video is worth a watch). One danger if you change carbies make sure you set the auto transmission kick down correctly or you will burn out thr transmission.
Your correct, the point of first contact with the air cleaner is at the front because the bonnet slopes down.
