Heat shields over motor mounts or not?

(1/3) > >>

Hi,
On my -64 April 260 I know that there should be steel heat shields between the block and motor mounts.

I also have a late November -66 with 289/C4. Should the heat shields (none there today) be present in this setup also regardless of type of motor mount?

thanks,
Claes

I've seen the heat shields on late 1966 V8 Mustangs.

Will see if the pictures turn up. As a somewhat related note - some of the other later small blocks used a single heat shield on the passenger side motor mount only

I just recently started a resto on a unrestored 66 NJ (april) convertible and there is/was only one heat shield on the passenger side.  got me thinking!!!!!

During the restoration of my late July 1965 projected build date Metuchen car I found heat shields on both the driver and the passenger side motor mounts.
