Ernie,

If you are referring to the 11.0045 piece my dad's 1949 Series 22nd Super "Granddads Car" has this piece installed. It is essentially a one piece unit constructed out of two pieces (bottom "U" and top inverted "U") that are spot welded together.

When I removed the engine I drilled out the welds that held the top inverted "U" so that I could get the engine out without needing a super tall engine hoist (cherry picker). I will need to use sheet metal to patch up the holes and after the engine is installed I will bolt it back in with self tapping bolts (two on each side).
