 VERY POSSIBLY A PROBLEM!!!  

I say this BECAUSE!!!!!  

I have seen more then one 57-59 300 AND some NewYorkers with little dimples in the hood caused by the carb mounting stud for the air-cleaner poking the hood from underneath, a possible reason was bad motor-mounts letting the motor rise just a little to much on aggressive acceleration.  One can infer that there isnt all that much room there.
The trick of using a lump of modeling clay to test clearances here might be in order.
