Most ppl seem to call it a dog bone, I took my off over 9 yrs ago and I've had no ill effect from removing it.

 

cool, thanks for the input. and thank you for inspiration to smooth and wire tuck the engine bay, im looking at welders to buy... and i dont know a damn thing about them. can a cheap flux core? welder work, or do i gotta get one with gas MIG?

 

I started off by borrowing a good friends Lincoln weld pak 100 electric welder and it seem to be OK but then I converted it to a MIG welder and it make all the difference in the world. It was much cleaner.
If you're going to buy a welder just to fill in the holes in the engine bay you'd be better off contacting someone to weld up those holes it would be cheaper than buying a welder.
Just my $.02
