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.
