Gitex, can you tell me the measurement from the back edge of the hood to the back edge of your hood scoop?

they were mounted flush with the back edge

I need some heat shields for my 64 426 as well. I have stock exhaust manifolds and those things are 800F at idle. I think its making the power steering fluid too hot, plus it sucks all that heat in the intake. May need some way to get cool air intake.

You need the power steering return hose heat shield. This is a factory item made out of galvanized material and attaches to the power steering return hose as pictured. I was lucky enough to have found one
here on FBBO after posting a wanted add. It most def helps!

You and your brother have excellent taste in cars! Question, Does your 426 have all of its exhaust manifold heat shields? #2...Was this car restored in California recently? Thank you! & congrats on a VERY nice looking Belvedere2

No exhaust shields. It came to me with max wedge manifolds and full TTI exhaust system. Didn't get original manifolds or shields with it. I bought it from a collector in Livermore, CA who bought it from another in SoCal, neither of which claim to have done any resto or mods. If you might know any of this car's history related to or beyond that please PM me & let me know. It has a lumpy cam that doesn't like to idle below 900rpm but I have no clue as to the type or specs on it, or any other internal engine mods it may have for that matter?

Double your pleasure, double your fun. Both are going in my favorites file. Be nice to see more of these two in Photo Garages. Thanks!

Ok, it's not the same car I was thinking of. And those heat shields are probably long gone! Ha!
