see the 1st post you created...add to it instead of making a new thread..
you have people answering you on the 1st thread..
again...MID-PLATE...and a front plate or makeshift front plate..3/8 grade 8 bolts and a heavy chain works wonders if you cannot fab up your own front plate.
then start with your suspension...you are cracking the bell housing because the tranny is twisting when the motor is lauching therefore putting the tranny housing in a bind..and it CRACKS...thats why mid-plates are used.
