Engine Cradle Lock Nuts


Btw. whatever you do, do NOT use an impact gun on cradle mounting nuts!! Hand tools ONLY for both removal and installation!!

There's 4 in the front and 4 in the rear.
I did find out that #6 in the diagram is in fact for the engine mount to cradle nut.
If anyone can point me to a P/N, that would be awesome!




Here's the conflicting part: one dealer site shows these nuts as "NLA" (no longer available), yet at least 2 other other GM sources I have used many times in the past shows them available and the price is $2.04 ea. and $1.98 ea respectively.
The part number I'm confident of is: 3537773 You'll notice this is the "old" GM part number format of using only 7 digits in the part number instead of the more common present-day 8 digit. The 7 digit numbers were common many years ago and it's possible this is still the original nut part number as used on a wide variety of GM applications for many years, not just Corvettes.
In case you need it, the listed dimensional measurements are: M14x2x11.92 and it's a cad or zinc plated prevailing-torque "shouldered" nut, meaning it has a flange, like a washer, made on to it.
14mm = hex size
2 = pitch
11.92mm = depth (or thickness)
Give that part number a whirl.
