Default 67 Coupe V8 engine compartment

Hello all, I have a 67 Coupe with a V8 auto in it. Is there supposed to be a cross member that goes below the engine between the motor mounts? Mine doesn't have it. My 67 has a transplanted 351W in it with a FMX. I'm trying to find a good pic of the engine compartment so I can see it and maybe get the part number off it. I would think it would be a very important part. LOL thanks.

These are not my photos, but it shows the cross member. Sorry, can't help with a P/N.

Eeep, yes! I don't believe there's a part number on it, but I think Glazier's Mustang Barn might be able to get you one.

The mustang 2 is a big job for a little pay off and you'll have to change to a rear sump oil pan different or custom headers.Only reason i know of to take the cross member out is to run a 429/460 the oil pan hits it.
