Weak crossmember for V-8 conversions?

I've seen a pic or two of the V8 conversion engine cradle for FDs and I have a question.

The stock engine cradle has the mounts for the lower control arm. The stock engine cradle has mounts tied into either side to support the control arms during heavy cornering load, this seems critical.

The conversion engine cradle seems to have the rear control arm mount as a cantilever mount. Is there another brace that bolts on? Otherwise it seems to be significantly weaker than the stock engine cradle.

Just asking.

Pic located here a way down:

Your not going to get any help here, go to V8RX7.com and get on that forum. Everybody here ***** a brick when somebody opens their mouth about a pistion engine swap into the REX.
