Yes, your right after a look at the rear shot of the block. Possibly, they have some sort of mid-plate in mind that would incorporate the main caps somehow. Just having the caps bolted to the pan rail on the outside doesn't offer much strength to the lower end, unfortunately. They are smart guys, I assume they have something in mind for the bottom end.
Tom, I just now saw the pic of a production casting? Looks right out of the mold. How cool is that. Way to go.
