    Its fine how it is.
    That piece of metal is the seperator plate for the engine and trans so the 2 dont corrode together.
    No Marauder has a bolt there, but you can add one if it makes you feel better.

    Every Crown Vic I have had was missing the same bolt....you can add one if you wish but it only makes about 2 RWHP...really not worth the effort!!!

    Mine is missing, too. I thought that I would pitch a fit after having my tranny o/h'd. I guess I'll leave it be.

    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    installed..the bolt i was thinking of was the lower one..
    My trans will be serviced when it comes out of storage
    so it can't have been removed..
