Exhaust manifold heat shields for 440 Hi Performance

[wtate]

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone knows a source for heat shields (up at the exhaust manifolds) for the 440 high performance exhaust manifolds? It's getting really hot in the engine compartment, melting some plastic clips on the fender wells, this is running at 180 degrees. Especially on the passenger side for some reason? There's screws holes on the manifolds for them.

Any help here appreciated.

Thanks,

Wayne

Only shield I know of is for the drivers side... and it's only a heat shroud for cold winter starts! lol

There are shields around the spark plugs, but nothing that attaches to the manifold.

You might consider a ceramic coating.
