The engine stiffeners (aka the L brackets that run from the bottom of the bell housing to just beside the oil pan on the bottom of the block), front and rear? What bout the intake manifold to rear of block support bracket?

Current build has neither, don't really plan on worrying about them unless someone has something to say about it. Stock Z6 won't make enough tourque to worry about, I would imagine.

 

I always throw them away; there not need.

 

lawl... mine doesn't have any of that ----. I only have the upper trans, the upper driver side, and the big bracket on the back. I took off the AC pump mount, and the passenger side lower ---- mount broke trying to take the bolt out.

 

the rubber 'spider' in the ac and pass side tranny mounts are tore. doesn't even connect, but makes swaps quicker.

 

uh, the intake bracket, probally should keep that.

i dont know about you but when im wrenching that intake manifold is holding my *** up.

i wouldnt lean 200lbs on a cast intake manifold if it didnt have a support.

 

ninja edit whhhopaaa

 

might just be my back, thats the worst part working on hondas for me.

leaning in the bitch.

 

braces are easy weight reduction!

 

i havent had any of those things on my car for years and i have no problems. i have some big power stuff in the works for my D, so i plan to put them back on when i get to that point. i dont know if i will need it, but i would rather have 3 extra lbs's up front than a broken tranny case.
