Lets put it this way, the bolts are going to snap or break the casting well before this thing will flex. When I get a belt on it and have the oil system hooked up I will run it not hooked up to the intake tract just to analyze flex which if anything will be the bolts. If the bolts show any odd signs of flex or stress I will make a third mounting point brace that will most likely run to the side of the block or the engine mounts.
