That's a very neat job. Effectively makes it a soild mount. Your fab skills are good. Can you remove lower bolts for street use? If you check out block bolt location you can how close it is to bottom of the rail. My old demised 462 had cracks behind the DS mount by front bolt and went from rail to bottom of bore on inside....I think fatiauge does in the 50+ year old blocks. Filling the block would help..IMO
