340 manifold heat shields now available at Mancini's!

[Professor Fate]

And they're not totally obscenely priced, either.

Probably should buy a set or two in case they sell out the initial run and decide not to make another run.

You're not wrong...!

 

[RustyRatRod]

Well this is fantabulous!

 

[340sport]

Wait....we use gaskets on manifolds?

 

[abodyjoe]

they sure are proud of those things.

Yes but they have them and nobody else does.

 

[1MeanA]

That’s about $500 Canadian so hard pass.

 

[Professor Fate]

Less than you'd have to pay for an old crusty original a couple months ago.

 

[jawbone]

Just bought a set. Thanks for the thread.

 

[CFD244]

Yeah, but they don't have the right numbers on them.

 

[jawbone]

Who cares about numbers if they work. My current heat shield is home made and works quite well.

 

[Professor Fate]

But they do have something on them that's worth bonus points.

Kinda shocked they're not made overseas!

My post was sarcasm.

I can take sarcasm quite well. Seam to get a lot of it for some reason.

Looks good! Sometimes ya do what you gotta do.
I hope you rounded off those corners, though- knowing me I'd need stitches soon enough if I didn't!

Well I wish I did but was too anxious to get it mounted. Only got cut up making it before I had a chance.

How well do the boots work on their own?

I'm running those manifolds with no heat shields and the boots on my wires are still like new. i used msd wires with vari angle boots though. also have the wires run different then the other guys here so they are more away from the manifolds.

I initially tried ceramic boots but had interference issue. Glad you found a fix.

My 340 dart ran around for decades without these and never had an issue. Unless you’re 100 point restoring..why bother.

If u want exhaust headers and manifolds to be a cut above jet-hot coatings is a really good solution. Never rust or discolor plus the thermal factor. My headers have it. Eventually I hope to send them my exhaust manifolds.

Nice homade shields. Mind if I copy?
Everything's costly some stuff we afford some stuff we improve.

Go for it. Easy to build. Can easily be improved upon but get the job done.
