My thoughts, I would tie it into the pan rail not just bolt it on (is there a pan gasket between?) dowels or sleeves of some type. Also some type of notch on top of all main caps so when bolted down it’s captive to the caps and pan rail. After this is done torqued down and line honed.i think that would be a tight non-flexing bottom end.
