If your car has the cast iron starter end housing you can always find the end housing that has the 3 bolt style, and use all 3 to retain the starter, apparently Some early BB “may” be drilled for all three, you will have to check, you could always put a stud in the cracked hole too?

I used the 3 bolt end housing before on a mid year Corvette that had that issue, it’s still good after about 5 years.
