I did have a vintage FMII (before it was called that, I think). I did have a griddle heat shield, which I took off after the mounts broke several times. However, since then, I have upgraded to a tubular manifold and a T3/T4E setup. I haven't had a problem in the 3 years it has been on - without a heat shield. Towing up a long grade (in low boost) generated enough heat to melt things. So BB, you don't have to worry that your design failed. I never had your heat shield. I would be interesting to see if it would fit. The design of the setup is nearly a one of, however. I can send some photos to Bill Bowser to see if he thinks it would fit. Otherwise, I'll have to fab something up myself with whatever junk I can find in the garage. Regards, Bruce Bill Bowser wrote: Hi Bill, I just got back from Michigan and saw this thread. I e-mailed Bruce to see if he had a heat shield because I was concerned that my design had failed to perform as expected. I'll be interested in his response. Regards, Bill Bill Cardell wrote: IIRC, Bruce has a fairly vintage FMII, back in the days of the waffle griddle heat shield for the turbo. Updating to the current heat shield made by Bill Bowser would prevent the problem from happening again.
