After only 3 years of project work, I realized that I am missing the lower-most engine sheet metal parts on both sides. These are the horizontal pieces that sit even with the heat exchangers. How important are these? Any advantage in not having them?

When you run headers you loose the provisions to mount them, and I have run that way for 20+ years.
But if you are running stock heat exchangers you might as well run them. The Germans were not generally known for adding extra parts for no reason. |
