You guys are flippin awesome. The avenger setup DOES look very close to what im lookin for. That IS what im talking about that the picture shows and the part IS more then likely useless. I highly suspect the part wasnt there from the start of this project and if thats the case it hadnt been there for at least a year of spirited driving and who knows how long the previous owner drove it around like that. I might snatch one up someday anyway if i come across it.

For the record though i believe there is another one that was not pictured above. It would run along the other side of the engine in a the same way but was bigger and more inclusive... 3 or 4 bolt hole locations. (im guessing, based on other 420a counterparts and to account for the remaining major transmission bolt hole).

I love this forum, you guys rock.
