There is a heat shield available for the EFI engines that goes between the lower intake manifold and the exhaust manifold, mostly a flat bendable alunimum sandwich material with a lot of humps in one edge to fit over the exhaust manifold, but very bendable.

I live in Nebraska and it's pretty hot here to. I got that single barrel Carter and it doesn't idle decent at all year round, always running real fast. Anyway I never seem to have any problems warpin nothin. I'm always flyin with my truck though, so there's plenty of air movin through all the time.
