For anyone else who needs a carb heat shield for a 356 and cannot find an original there is an old thread with photos of the original and a nice dimensional drawing all provided by JD in KC.

There is a different shield used for some of the 327 engines but I do not have info on that one. The 356 basic shield shape and size would probably work but I suspect the carb bolt mounting tabs and maybe the notch to clear the choke tube location would need different spacing for the later engines.
