Paul, The 67 shifter was bolted to the crossmember instead of being bolted to the transmission tailshaft, I believe it was to stop the annoying shifter vibrations. This particular upgrade actually started in late 66, I have a july 66 s/n 25,66x & this car has the crossmember mounted shifter. Barry Holmes

Forgot about the shifter , thanks. I have a friend who has a 67 that needs a frame , we found a 66 frame ( close to us ) that is suppose to be real nice . We want "convert it" to a 67 , if there isn't that many things to change.

Paul,

Keep in mind cars are separated from the frame for reasons, you better cross check the frame or have someone look at it for you.

Paul
Another small difference that comes to mind is a '66 frame has one clip for the front crossover brake line, centered on the front of the front crossmember, while a '67 has two clips around 1/3 and 2/3 across the crossmember (distances might be off some, it's been awhile and the memory's going). This should be an easy fix though.

Thanks for the help. (the frame the 66 is coming out of, to sell, is going to have a pro touring frame installed in it)
