Hello everyone,
Last year I upgraded the exhaust on my 71 from my stock SS Heat Exchangers to a header from MSDS. There were warm air guides that attached to the heat exchangers to assist with engine cooling. Should I create new warm air guides to attach to the headers? I'm planning on installing the floor pan air deflectors from 914 rubber to help with cooling, but aside from that, is there anything else I need to do? Thanks in advance! |

When you look at the shape and location of the warm air guides it appears they are intended to guide the cooling air from above the cylinders down and around the underside of the cylinders. I assume this is to extract heat from the undersides of the cylinders. If not in place the cooling air would be free to pass between the cylinders without being routed around the underside. How effective are they? I don't know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
