If it is a small block, it should have have two heat shields - one on each side. Not really sure what their purpose was??

Most don't have them anymore unless someone is doing a 100% correct restoration. I've got several sets of these thinking they would be sought after for restorations, but I've had bad luck selling them!

Here's a link to a recent thread that discusses what it sound like you are referring to.

Hey saddletramp, welcome to the site! I just wanted to say, you have two threads with the same title right now. There's no way to tell one from the other.
