Heat shields over motor mounts or not?

<< < (2/3) > >>

CharlesTurner:
I have mostly seen a single one used on passenger side (LHD), but have also seen cars with it used on both.  If I was judging a car, I would accept either config.

Does the assembly manual have anything on this?

Richard P.:
I've also seen the heat shields on one or both sides. If only on one side it will be the left as that is the torque side and will weaken before the right side.

J_Speegle:
Passenger side (where we're finding the single installations and where Ford installed them on the Boss for example) would be the compression side - the reason the old racers would fab a limiting rod or cable on the drivers side since that is the side that would normally go first.

Maybe the same idea but we're using different terms :)

Were these shields natural or block color?
My unrestored engine had no shields at all Dec 65 build.
