For the uninformed like me what is it?
Looks like the lower half of a Ansen scatter shield.

I thought it might be part of bell housing but didn’t think they’d make that part that heavy wow
Kinda rare to have the lower half.
I put an “aluminum” scattershield on a 265 I built for a guy. It had on the lower bolt on piece AHRA/NHRA APPROVED.
The kid I built the car for did not know how to listen to the engine, the tach was acting up, usually shifted at 7,000, I have no idea how high it was as I was screaming shift, shift and he did. All hell broke loose of course as soo. As he touched the clutch!
Took us about an hour to sweep the track.
Track manager not happy, I handed him the bottom piece of the aluminum scatter shield with the approvals!
Boy we proved them wrong

Pat, I remember at the AHRA Nationals at Green Valley, 1962 or 63, this black 56 Chevy was turning some ungodly RPMs and the clutch let go. The starter beat the car to the finish line.

The small block I had would peg the tach at 8000 and still be pulling, just guessing I shifted around 8500 to 8800.
Shredded a clutch disc a time or two, but zinged a gear more than once.
Got schooled of hard knocks learning how to rebuild that Muncie and make it shift.

It's already half yours
