Dan -
far better than a wonky heat shield is to get your exhaust manifolds
Jet-Hot coated, Sterling Extreme. Best money you'll ever spend for
the engine compartment.
You will also get stalling from vapor lock - the fuel pump is right
over the exhaust pipe. Wrapping header tape around the pipe under the
fuel pump makes a big difference.
Cheers,
Alan
