Mini Starter install...starter shield ?..not heat

Installing motor and tranny next weekend(440/727) and don't know if I will need a started shield. I don't have one and need to know where to get one if I do...anyone??
If it matters I ordered a "NEW" starter for a '92 Dakota w/5.2
THNX!!!

I wouldn't bother,myself and most other run em for years before any problems. they are cheap and easy to rebuild anyway.

I just wrapped mine in some of that heat reflective tape from the parts store. Actually seems to work pretty well

May not need it,but there was one available for the Magnum engines.Sorry I do not have the PN.

I guess I should clarify, I am not looking for a heat shield. I found this pic on 440 source.Do I need one of these?

You will be fine with out the shim. I run one on my Super Bee only because I still have the origonal. I don't run one either of my race cars.

I figured it helped keep sh*t out of the bellhousing
