Does your set up include heated air for the air cleaner?. This will help with cold drivarbility. I think it is a part that bolted onto and around the stock exhaust manifold. I think your block off plate is a good start, but honestly is too thin to last. It is so much trouble to take off that intake exhaust/combo, I would encourage you to take your sheet metal plate to a machinist, or metal worker and have a 1/4" plate made as Joshua recommended. It will save you much time in the long run. Your back will thank you for it.  Not only that, but if you put a thicker plate in there, you will get the needed heat transfer to make life better in the cold weather.Good luck, Sam |

Also a quick note. Watch out using Galvinized metal. The burning product can kill you. Just my 02. Frank |

The fire rating for that thin of sheet metal is about 1-2 hours...The fumes from heated galvinized( the zinc) will make you sick and send you to the hospital (in my trade you have to wear a filter mask and a welding hood to weld on it). From previous experience with bolting on plates to use with the Dutra split manifold I would shoot for 3/16" plate, and if you mix is OK you can use the Bronze RTV...JB weld I think holds up to about 300-350 degrees (exhaust is in the 4-500 range if tuned...and up to 1000 if you are reallly lean). -D.Idiot |

Be sure to use a gasket on each side..........I've been doing these wood spacers for years and they always work perfectly. I even ran a 9:93 with wooden spacers on a tunnel ram. I'm old school, really old school. I'm surprised someone hasn't tried to tell you differently. Make sure it's flat! MaX |
