Ive got a VH with a 304 that's getting a decent cam (not sure which one yet) and some other head work. What I'm wondering is if I run a torquepower dual plane low rise and a quad throttle body, can I fit it under the bonnet? Coz I absolutely do not want it sticking out, that's not the look I'm going for with this car.

Too many
99% Sure the low rise should first. Worst case you can still get a drop base for the air filter if needed.

I cannot say from experience, but I do think you will be okay.
Might have to check with immortality as that could be the same as he is running in a VS.
At worst get a drop base like sandman advised, or remove some bonnet bracing if you are getting desperate.

Either way it ends up killing power being strangled by thin too small aircleaner sucking sealed heated air or what is left of it in engine bay.

HDT cold air tray modified to fit should help a little.

Assuming it's getting vn/s heads clearance is always tight with aftermarket manifolds
