Did the 1971 402 come with spark plug heat shields?

Mine has all (8). Also, when I've seen them in catalogs, they sell as (8) to the set.

They all the same John? I've seen one block where some were shorter than the others, to make room for the heat shield. Don't know if it was factory correct.

I typed 1972 chevy big block spark plug heat shields into the search bar and lots-O-hits came up.

I even saw a NOS set on E-bay.

As far as all the same size? I don't believe mine are. I think (2) are larger than the others. Although; the few I looked at online seemed all the same size.

I've been contemplating the NOS set. They don't seem to be able to produce a part number. Yes, all on the web are the same. I don't know if they're correct. At this point it doesn't jive with the parts book.
