Where does this part go? Hi all, I just finished replacing the blown motor on my 2002 Firehawk. Well all went well and the replacement long block started right-up. I had one extra part and I can't remember where it goes. It is some sort of heat shield. It is curved and has two ears with holes for mounting to somewhere. I hope one of you can help me figure out where it goes. I also had two 10mm nuts that were on the motor mount bolts, but I took them off because I didn't see what went bolted to them. Maybe the heat shield?
Please Help!! Thanks a Bunch!

The Driver's side Motor Mount to Block Bolts have studs on the heads. The heat sheild you have pictured mounts to the studs on the top two bolts with two 10mm nuts. I think its designed to protect the motor mount bushing from exhaust manifold/header heat.

You guys helpful AND FUNNY! Well at least I know it isn't shielding a gas line or anything that might blow-up! LOL! Now I just have to see if I mounted the two stud bolts to the drivers side or passengers. If I chose the drivers side, I'll mount up the shield. If not, I guess I'll throw it in the trash. Thanks for help all!!! I'm totally jazzed that the car started right-up, ran great, and only had the heat shield as a left-over part. Time to enjoy the Firehawk again!
