You live in Ventura? I drove my 08 to Ventura to A&A Surperchargers. I had a centrifugal supercharger installed. Unfortunately, Andy Green's supercharger kits only fit C5, C6, and C7's. It'd be great to get one of these under the hood of a C3.

The Shields were built for Small Block Corvette engines from 1968 on. The original Shields fit from 1968 and on. The uprights but had different brackets to hold in some years.
They never had them on the big block engines because the wires ran over top the Valve Covers to the Plugs. Small Blocks had really long wires so they would run down around the exhaust manifolds instead of above them. They not only hid the wires but also protected the wires on Small Blocks because of the way the Exhaust manifolds mounted to these engines. Like anything else you could probably figure out a way to make it work with some custom mounts.

The 75 had a different Ir cleaner than74 . I had one , they appeared the same , but when you put the 75 cleaner on the 74 , the 74 BB ring slots do not align up with the snorkels . The little tab on the inside back of 75 cleaner is punched out different , this interfers with the 74 lid seal ring assembly. It's kinda hArd to picture . But I had both.....I sold the 75 air cleaner.
75 air cleaner had the huge dings beat into the back to make room for the HEI....looked like with a hammer job to me....
....it was NOS in. GM box . Gone now,
