Replacing an engine in the winter?
'round these parts, the cherry pickers are all mothballed for a few more months.

Speaking of hot air...turns out that when I brought my car to the professionals to handle the exhaust manifold bolts, they removed the shield so my intake's hot air pipe isn't getting hot air. It was probably rotted anyway. Any idea where I can get a replacement, and how I could hack it on without taking those bolts out?
Also: I have a Sunpro oil pressure gauge with electric sender. I went to install the sender and realized that it may not work. The space where the oil pressure switch is is small and buried in a hole between components, up against the frame. I don't think I can get tools in there. I don't think the sender would fit even if I could. Also if I replace the switch then I have to do something about the electric choke, which depends on the switch. I'd either have to find another signal that the engine is running, use a manual switch, or use a hose and tee to hook up both the switch and gauge sender. Is there anywhere else I can put the sender instead?

the 350s get hot air through the heads i figured the 4.1 would be the same. also on a 350 its up on the right side toward the front. it has plenty of room to clear on it. it is under the alt and all on it. im not as familiar with a 4.1 but assumed they would be same thing really.

You don't need the exhaust manifold shield/stove, but it helps with making the engine warm up faster so you get heat sooner in the winter (fucking New England), helps with driveability/fuel economy, etc. I was wondering why my fuel economy is lower...that means I'm paying for this missing part every day. I drive 80 miles per day, after all.
Found an alternate location for the oil pressure sender but I don't love it: http://h-body.org/dave/Building%20the%20SFI%20Vega.htm About halfway down that page it is described as "sender pick-up coming of the right galley plug in the back of the block" and photographed. It would require me to pull back the transmission and I think remove the flywheel to get access to that plug. A further thought on using the existing oil pressure switch location: That fucker's probably seized in there badly and there may be serious carnage if I disturb it. Oil filter sandwich adapters exist but are expensive. Drat.

The only part missing is the exhaust manifold shield that funnels heat into the hose that goes to the intake snorkel. The hose and snorkel are complete.
I couldn't get access to the OEM oil pressure switch with a camera but I took photos of stuff near the base of the oil filter that might work. Any thoughts on these bolts?
