Custom Slant6 carb heat shield
Thought maybe you Slant6 enthusiasts would like to see the carb heat shield I had made up and polished. With the split Hooker headers I put on I noticed a lot more heat build up in the engine bay and under the carb. So to reduce the possibility of vapor lock I had this made at a machine shop. It’s made from 1/8” T6 aircraft aluminum and a little custom work for interest then polished. I’ve been running a Super Six setup with a Carter BBD 2bbl. The carb showing on the shield is a Holley 2bbl R9712. What do you think? Thanks, Al
