actually, this product will work... but not for the reasons stated. it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the engine twisting. It's the thin oil pan flange does not distribute the force of the torqued bolt over the lenght of the oil pan. This "brace" has a thick enough flange to do that.
Ever seen a older V8 valve cover? They did the exact same thing on a smaller scale with their bolt tabs.
that would be the peices at the bottom of the pic for those of you not familiar with them.

this is not a new modification...just cheaper and better than what is all ready out there.
