Power Valve Selection: The Definitive Answer

If you need a heat shield let me look around. There was one I was going to buy, but never got around to it. It seemed like the best deal at the time.

I've screwed with phenolic and wood heat shields and never found much.

Let me see if I can find that one I liked again.

My big issue with this van setup is with limited space between the engine cover and carb/air cleaner with the Action + intake I have at the moment, I have about a 1/4" extra room, gaskets included for anything, but the carb is sitting close to the intake either way. I've got an Air Gap and an M1 to play with, I was planning on running come next spring (along with other things planned) but I may just go ahead and slap it on, might help with the heat issue. Another option as well was running thin solid engine mounts to drop the engine a bit, but I've had to fabricate all the other stuff for it as it is now, and then it all will not align etc. It never ends
