now is this a simple shield tacked to the bottom of the intake? Never heard 
of one before?  anyone make one to bolt onto the same roller cam/spider 
bosses in the block?  was it an OE piece or aftermarket or homemade?

I'd have the whole manifold ceramic coated but it has a gorgeous powdercoat 
job (had it when I bought it) that just coincidentally matches my arctic 
silver paint to a T!....anything I can 'paint' on it selectively without 
wrecking the powdercoat etc or just give it a nice progressive sanding......

And naturally, will this add up to much of anything for heat avoidance as 
it's already vented being a single plane Vic. Jr. you can see straight thru 
underneath? enough heat would conduct via the base up thru the runners I 
suppose to make it worthwhile? I dont' mind some sanding at all, just want 
to know I'll see some gain from it.....it's in a rather warm cozy engine 
bay as well....

Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.
