TorqueFlite 727 904 Cut Bellhousing for Converter Bolt Access

A search here and online didn't kick back anything, so I'm curious if anyone has made this modification and what people think. I ran across the photos with description in a Hot Rod article. According to the transmission builder, the hole for better access to the converter bolts does not impact the structural integrity, which I think is logical since the hole is far down from the last bellhousing bolts, but I'd be concerned with cracks forming. I don't have an issue reaching the bolts to begin with, so I'm not sure why the modification exists. Thoughts?bellhousing_cutout.jpg
