That's a pretty good idea, as far as better than band-aid solutions go.

It has been all bolted up for a couple days now. Running well. Starts well. No sounds of grinding or anything else undesirable. And I couldn't even fit that both over the stud. Unfortunately when I stepped up the size of the stud to fill the hole for the bolts better for stability when the motor is cranking I neglected to consider whether I be able to get a ratchet head on to the nut to tighten it down. Anyone know especially narrow short nuts that can fit over a 7/16 in stud with fine threads? I don't know I don't know if it matters that much since it's working fine and I only intend to hang on to it for a few months this way before pulling the engine and drilling out the broken parts, but it's an interesting detail to try and resolve and I might learn something.

Fine thread might mean using an aircraft jam nut which is 1/2 high, or make your own with a hacksaw. Install uncut side towards load.

That is the critter. Not full load bearing but 5000 lbs in shear might be enough
