The whipple coolers only add about an inch in height, but they cost twice as much as most other chillers.
I think you'd be better off to just upgrade to 250 blowers and 1050 carbs for the same $$$ as the whipple chillers.

So what happened to hawk. I picked up a 88 hawk gun this summer with 540/575 power with #3s and Borg warners. Stupid bullet proof boat. Remember them being "the" motors to run, then kina disappearing.

My hawk 540s had been rebuilt at one time but were close to spec.
Found an old 80s Mag article stating the 540 aka hawk 600s made 590 hp
gm high po ls6 iron heads with bigger valves
9.1:1 compression ratio
cam that made peak power at 5600 rpm
eldebrock c454 intake
mine has the ls6 heads still but a weiland team g intake and different cams. I’m going to replace the heads with world Merlin 320cc
