M200 breakage

We have never had a brace on a T 200 and have never cracked a bellhousing .
In fact , I always cut the ears off with a skillsaw and a carbide tip blade and de- burr the edges., Factory type engine mounts with a good, solid torque strap ,and a poly type mount.
I suspect your problem started with the driveshaft. Not sure why though.
On my Omega, (350 Buick stump puller), I shortened the original 2 and 3/4 ,thin wall shaft to accommodate the 12 bolt rear, and never had a problem with that either.
