Are you sure? There was another little shield that I thought went there? I put it there anyway.
Any pictures ???
Thanks.
 
Man, that one has me stumped! It's definately NOT the behind the turbo shield.
 
I only recall two shields - the one behind the turbo, and the one next to the starter (and maybe one on the floor above the catalytic converter). Maybe some pictures from other angles would help us?
 
There was a bigger one that goes over the starter to shield it from the headers another That holds the trans lines by the starter the one that goes behind the turbo and this one....
On the starter ??? I don't remember one...
Anyway. Hoping to finish this thing up tomorrow.
Worlds longest head gasket change.
 
In the back of the head ???
Crap that's impossible in the car !
I ain't sure what I'll do about the grounds that went back there.
This has been engine R&R from hell ....

I put two of the grounds in the upper bolt hole in the passenger side head where they went originally before I got my engine all the way in. For the other three grounds on that side, I took out the engine hoist loop and moved the stud to the back corner so I could mount the other three grounds to it.

You can leave it off. Only the 87's had that shield. I have a couple of them sitting in my shop :)
 
I think I got it on right see picture link in first post.
Also got those stinking grounds hooked up.
Thank god for my new lift I don't think I'd got it otherwise!
 
It goes in the box of junk you take off the car and never put back on. Nothing like that on mine and haven't melted any thing.

Where did you end up putting it, can't tell from the picture ?
 
It is in the lower bolt hole in the back of the head. It joins to the bigger shield above the starter. Kinda protected the harness as it snakes in under the big shield. I think that's where it goes.
