And your point is what? Lakewoods won't seperate from the motor?

If the housing seperates containment is breached, at that point it's a roll of the dice where the the pieces end up.

About the only real fix for this is a modified block with beefed up mounting points. Stock blocks just weren't designed for this kind of power output.

Unlike the backing plate, the block is critical to the structural integrity of the bellhousing.
