Insulating the engine bay

[encantotom]

on my 90 newell i was looking for exhaust manifold blankets as i had turbo and exhaust pipe ones but not for the manifolds.

i ended up getting some that were already made for an 8v92, but on the quest to get there ran across several places that do the blankets that david is talking about.

ttp://www.firwin.com/pages/contact/01contact.html they were very willing to make something for me.

the ones that i ended up with were from ATP in southern ca. http://www.atpwrap.com/

we stopped by their office when we were on a trip in the coach and they were very helpful.

as for the engine compartment itself, there are several products that you can buy. i chose to make my own with high temp insulation used for under hoods of cars and such and glued two sheets together to get almost an inch. it had a foil cover and i used the tape you use for ductwork (the silver reinforced kind) to seal the seams.
