Big Block Chev Starter Heat Shield Gm no. 3943647

[Black and Blue Camaros]

I am the original owner of a 1969 Camaro 396 375hp. It came with a stainless steel starter shield different in shape than the Paragon Corvette shield. I had removed mine in 1969 when I installed headers. I have since removed the headers and used the original shield. Years ago GM released a galvanized shield that will fit but it is not the same as the original shield.

John,

I had heard that some Camaro's got the SS heat shield, but
by-and-large the majority of them got the galvanized one.

Still, I'd love to see image(s) of your shield; either
installed or off the engine. Just ho different is your
original SS shield from the others? Does it look like
the Corvette SS shield?

A couple of years ago, I asked a local Chevy dealer to serach for the correct part number (gavanized heat shield for Nova BBC) , and 11 came up. I bought one brand new from a Texas dealer for about $5 plus shipping. The shipping was more than the cost of the part.
