67 GTX What keeps dust and debris from inside engine bay??

[Mr. Belvedere II]

Just wonder if there are panels or something that protect the engine compartment from dirt and stuff. I know about hood to radiator seal and hood to cowl. Just not sure how much those do for that and if there is something also that helps

You could trailer queen it
If you drive them the engine compartment is going to get dirty.
I live a 1/4 mile down a dirt road so there is no getting around it when it’s dry.
You start trying to panel off areas in the engine bay and you trap heat and airflow and cause other problems.

Naww, it’s not that big of a deal, I’m not trying to put in anything that wasn't originally there. Just wondering if there was anything I was missin

There is shields on each side of the engine bay and a shield between the front bumper and the rock shield which attaches to the core support.

Positive air pressure from the fan. The higher you rev the cleaner your engine compartment will be.

I think the hood to radiator and cowl seals make a difference. Having all the shields in place does as well. Dust is still dust just like pollen and it gets everywhere.
Don’t live on a dirt road although I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Are the inner fender splash shields just what are left and right of the wheel hump on each side for access the the UCA adjusters??

Where do these go??

 

[WileE]

Just occasionally wash your engine compartment. Simple.

One on each side of the inner fenders.

There are holes shaped almost exactly like those fiber covers.

I have a two gallon pump up garden sprayer with citrus based degreaser. Works great for de sliming and does not harm the paint like purple cleaner or spray foam one do. You can get the wand into many areas that are too tight for spray cans.
