Interesting knowledge about the dog bones and the anti-pogo washers! Thanks for sharing that info! It also does not surprise me. Some of these items I suspect were just taking advantage of the internet crowd who did not know any better.
I've seen the aluminum venture van mounts. I was tempted to mess with them but opted to pass (I felt they looked out of place, but hard to say once you're done with them).
But also note: The 3400 and 3800 Monte has different upper rad mounts. The 3800 rad mount is held with 4 bolts, while the 3400 is held with only 3 (two in the side and one on the front of the rad cross brace). I wondered if it was for a "strength" issue.
Can't wait to see the finished products!!

Uh... Am I alone in thinking this may be a bad idea?

There is barely any pressure on the bottom bolts of the dogbones. I have had mine out for so long and had no issue at all.
Also, those short ones are sweet, but I could never run them with my headers.
