Do you have to run a scattershield in V/S ?

Just put this up for discussion or maybe?

I wish that I had a "dime" for every time I thought about a stick in one of my Novas. V6 Malibu or Buick would be the way to go. I'd spend the time and money and find an old, outdated (by todays standards) DN ST-10 and be done with it. Heavy flywheel and stock bellhousing? Surprisingly, you DON'T need a shield in V. What are your legs worth? Find an old Lakewood that won't cert.
