Default Trans Mount Bracket Types?

Hey everyone, my '77 c3 with 350 engine and trans has had some componets replaced from '69 year c3! I can see 1969 marked in yellow paint on the drive shaft and carrier unit. The single exhaust was changed to dual so I quess who ever had the car before me swapped parts from the '69 (cross member,drive shaft,carrier). The tail shaft of the trans does not align with the mount bracket. It is about 2" short and the previous owner made an extention out of flat plate metal. So I am trying to find out if there are different bracket mounts to correctlly mount trans. Thanks, Shark Bit

Yes the 77 used a turbo 350 and the 69 used a turbo 400. I have converted some early C3s and some later C3s to 5 speed from autos and the mount is slightly different.
