The main thing to note with the heat shields is that not all blocks are set up to accept them. My 1980 Suburban with the original 350 had them installed, but the 1975 small block 400 I replaced it with had neither the cast bosses nor the tapped holes to accept them. I was somewhat surprised, as I seem to remember all of my old trucks having them in the past. Maybe my 400 came from a Caprice?
