  • mystery brace

    Found a support bar on a 92 Grand Prix SE with the 284 in it. The bar is solid 1/2" and goes from the upper engine mount bolt on the chassis side, down to the lower bolt that is 1 of 4 that holds the battery support to the chassis. I took it off to see what it may do and it looks like absolutely nothing but a brace? I have no idea why GM would put this on the car it's not on mine. I took it off and is now sitting in my garage as I paid free dollars for it. Any of you guys have this on your cars??

      Interesting it must be a 5speed thing then. It just seems to have no purpose... I'll keep it anyway maybe it need one day.

        Yes,
        its a 5spd "thing"

        It's listed as:
        "BRACE, Eng Mt Strut Brkt..............(LQ1,M27) #10192639"

        I wouldn't remove it though cause it was designed to help brace the engine from the extra torque, I would replace it with a more stronger one though....

              Does anyone have a picture of one? I have no idea what you guys are on about.
              I may own a GTO now, but I'm still a 60V6er at heart.
