Regarding the stove on 70' 440/6 motors (non fresh air), it seems somewhat prevalent on Superbirds, I've yet to see one on an unrestored/original/survivor 1970 Charger 440/6....I don't follow the other B bodies enough to care.....The majority of E body 440/6 are fresh air cars and I've never seen an original/unrestord/survivor with one....


You have me thinking a bit deeper on this topic......your comment re: 440-6 Chargers seems to be spot on. Also, the 440-6 E Bodies. For the intended function of intake heat this heat shield/stove seems to have been designed for dual snorkel 4 barrel big blocks. However, apparently at least some of the 440-6 cars got them.
