bolting pinto to stand

out of the 6 holes. The 4 outer ones have the thread in the tranny?

If i ran 9mm bolts through them on motor end + engine stand will that hold the weight?

Or should i try match the top 2 threaded 2 holes + the lowest non threaded?

    Save the hassle and spend 10 mins chopping the mount plate down to a 100x100mm square , drill 4x holes matching the engine mount and bolt it on the exh side mount, makes access to the flywheel easier. 
      Err, this is a Zetec block(3 bolts), but you understand
