Sounds like someone has put a solid mount in it , Moroso used to make one of those things , I think.

If you are talking about where the crossmember bolts to the frame.

In 67, when the mid-size GM's started getting the TH400, the frames were double drilled (non-convertible) so all you had to do was slide the cross member back to accomodate the TH400. I can't remember about the conv. frame (although I had a 67 GTO vert). I want to think it had two mounting brackets welded to the inner "boxing", but I am just not sure.
