Need some info on a wierd piece.

[DukeBoy]

Don't have a pic, so will attempt to describe best I can. What is the little metal piece sticking up behind the engine mounts welded to the K Frame on a 1972 Challenger?(One on each side) They stick up all in the way when I have a BB with headers and I don't want to cut them out if they serve a valuable purpose. I've Never seen these on any of my other cars (B-body)...

Hope I described well enough.

i think those metal pieces are just there to help guide the engine mounting blockes into place when your droping in a new engine. I know I had to cut one on the drive side of my 74 challenger so my headers would clear. i have no idea what else they would be for.
