Opinions may vary, but with the plethora of crate engines including the  
popularity of stroked engines available, it's possible more Tiger owners  will 
put 
their original 260's and 289's on an engine stand in the garage, bag it  and 
then drop, for instance, a new 340 HP Ford crate engine for under $3,500.  
Also, the modern aluminum head will more than make up for the increased weight  
of the scattershield.
 
I just picked up a copy of the December issue of Mustang and Fords and the  
article featuring one of the first Tigers, if not the first, is very good  and 
more in-depth than the average magazine article. Tigers have hit the  
mainstream, even the owner of this Tiger decided to shelve his original 260 in  
favor 
of '64 289 with 302 internals and an LAT kit.
 
For those who want a scattershield, sheetmetal can always be pounded back  
into shape. :-)
