Where does this go ????
Short summary is truck failed inspection late 2018 because cab corners and rockers rusted out to where seat belts were not anchored. Sat a while then I started with some repair parts for floor/cab corner/rockers and project soon migrated to pulling the bed, scaling and epoxy painted frame, new bed sides, fenders, pristine donor doors from a u pull, pulled engine to change oil pan rear seal and clutch, new brake lines, etc.etc. I have all the body work done and sealed with epoxy primer and was organizing to get set up to paint everything in the spring and forgot about this piece. I believe I removed it when pulling the engine, thought it might be from around the starter but I can't find any likely places where it seems to fit.
Does this look similar? Appears to be a repro for a Ford big block:

Thanks- I was not thinking about the engine mounts. I searched around for motor mount heat shields and found a few posts with pics that has it on the driver side motor mount. Now I can sleep at night
