The heat shields that protect the chassis from the headers are finished. They were complex because the stock 2”x 2” chassis rails aren’t parallel nor co-planar and, complicating matters, I scalloped four of the chassis tubes to accommodate the headers. In addition, there were several hoses in the way. Fortunately, the guys at Back Bay Customs are excellent fabricators. The left side is a single piece and the right side is two pieces to accommodate the dry sump filter and lines. Everything is removeable with the engine and headers in place.
The chassis tubes were scalloped in previous post to accommodate the headers.
Paper and tape were used to make templates
The heat shield conforms to the scalloped 2” x 2” chassis tube. 1/8” shims were welded to the back side of the heat shield to provide an air gap between it and the chassis tubes. There is a small heat shield mounted to the engine block to protect the back of the alternator.
