    The aluminum passenger side engine bracket that the dog bone attaches to broke off. I am needing to know of a site to find a new one as I had no luck on Ebay. I also need to know what this part is called as I been to several auto shops and they didn't know. Including pic of what I am referring too:

    Or you could get the cast iron one from a s/c car or an early L36, typically 95-97.

    ^^ what he said a lot of people seem to be breaking them not sure how probably worn out bushings on the dog bones and other mounts probably leading to the engine torque rolling to much

    They are made out of aluminium which is terrible as they help stabilize the engine from rocking back and forth so much.

    If they were make of iron they wouldn't fail.

    They don't move, and the dog bone mount is setup so the engine can move a lot so the feel of the transmission slamming into gear isn't as noticable. Also so the vibrations from the not so smooth 3800 don't upset the more sensitive owners.
