Hey friends,

This is my first post here, though I’ve been following this forum for some time. I have a ‘55 Mercury wagon with a 292. This past year I bought a second 292 complete with transmission out of another ‘55 Mercury. My transmission in my car was slipping and needed rebuilt, I decided it might be easier to build a second one and swap it in rather than have my car fully disabled during the rebuild. That worked well, and I’ve cured the transmission woes. My engine is all good, but I noticed that with the donor one, I got this shield that is not present on my car. I figure mine must have been removed along the way, but I cannot figure out where it belongs…either I took it off when I got the second engine and just didn’t make a mental note of it, or it was in a box of misc. parts that came with it. I appreciate any help and guidance for where it goes and if it’s important to have in. Thanks guys!
