427 Conversion

I suspect there are many others on here who love searching out parts for their old cars when they do conversions, upgrades, whatever. I am almost done my 427 conversion and am making an effort to keep it looking very "1966" as much as possible, but I'm still on a budget (part time worker, you know....) An...

So for my upcoming swap I decided on a LUK clutch. I have always heard good things about them but recently someone on here had a bad experience with one. However, I decided to go with a LUK in spite of that because the dealership I work at buys a lot of jobber parts from a local supplier. We buy so much there th...

(Preview)
Cleaning my 327 cast iron intake. I'd like to take the heat shield on the bottom off. I think to clean it properly it needs to come off. Can it be removed...then put back on? How is it even fastened? I haven't tried prying at it yet for fear of damaging it.
