Read some helpful suggestions on here for myself. Car been sitting for about 3 1/2 years. Yup, brakes were seized up, had to replace all rotors and new brake pads of course. Pulled motor transmission drive shaft, just installed motor, put bell housing on about to put transmission in. So my question is does anyone know how the shield is suppose to be mounted exactly? I didn't take note on it before removing, pretty sure connects to passenger side motor mount bracket, where the starter is and it's black and T-shaped. I'm guessing it shields heat from the header for the starter. Thanks for any and all advice on project. 98 mustang 3.8l

Welcome from SoCal ! Good Intro post. Probably wouldn’t hurt to also post a thread with your question in the ‘98 V6 section if you don’t get answered here.
Sounds like you know your way around with a wrench, so ++

Cheers!

Does anyone know exactly how this bracket is to be mounted on SN95 Mustang. I know I removed it from the passenger side motor mount bracket and should have taken a picture first but you know ....hahaha I did not.
