Are there any chevy's out there that come from the factory with starter heat shields
 

after saturdays episode of replacing my starter which got overheated by my headers and quit working-the leading up to it is kinda funny ill tell that part of it later.what im wondering is there a chevy vehicle out there that comes from the factory with a starter heat shield and can they be used on a 350 starter.if so what vehicles do they come on and approx how much does one of these shields cost.thanks in advance guys

my buddy has a 1984 or so monte carlo that has a factory heat shield no idea on how much it costs or anything but i know its there i just replaced his starter

Have you thought about ceramic coated headers or a mini starter?

The 88-99 trucks came with a small heatshield. Look at Jegs or Summit's site. They should have aftermarket heat shields...

Possibilities
 

Most of the early GM stuff (especially Corvettes) that had a 454 engine used a heat shield. Not sure on the trucks, but I would think they did also. Have you checked with the dealer parts man? That would get you started in the right direction. Otherwise, like some else mentioned check with JEGS or Summit. Or if your really handy, fab one up yourself.

Get a piece of sheetmetal and make your own.

considered doing that too-was just asking if there were any chevy's out there that came with them from the factory-it was more a curiousity question than anything

I used to have a factory heat shield I think it came off a vette but not sure what year or engine. I know that doesnt help much :) but I recommend an aftermarket heat shield or blanket, they really work
