For small blocks they are fairly common in the 5.0 racing world. Lakewood is the best known mfg of Scattershields. Look in a summit or Jegs catalog. I think the cost is in the $300 range, I bought mine used from a 5.0 racer who switched to an automatic in his drag car.

No personal horror stories, but I've seen the aftermath of a clutch explosion several times. There is a thick motor plate and a bell housing, they are steel and SFI certified. They add a little weight vs a cast aluminum bell housing but with the close proximity in a cobra I won't even ride as a passenger in a strong motored car that doesn't have one. An exploded flywheel has enough momentum to sever your leg in a split second. At least the scattershield's weight is in the back of the motor and in a Cobra it's where it can actually help the CG and f/r bias.
