Big block engines were offset 1 inch to the right by means of asymmetric brackets. 1967-68 BB frame mount brackets are 2-1/2 inches wide (but not the same as SB) and use the same engine mounts as 67-68 302ci and 350ci. For 69, BB frame mount brackets were redesigned to use the new thicker, narrower, engine mount also used by 302ci and 350ci. BBC bracket pairs are easily spotted because the left bracket is noticeably taller than the right in order to achieve the engine offset. If its only shifted one inch over the length of the engine/tranny combo which is aprox. 5-5 1/2 feet you probably wouldn't even notice it in the crossmember. To my knowledge the crossmembers are all the same meaning trans mount is centered. I could be wrong though.
