In my old S12 I had the bolts shear on the inlet side. The engine dropped a few inches. It didn't drop any further because the oil filter stuff itself in to the side of the amount. Made a hole in the oil filter though.

your failure was due to difference in bolt length and thread depth in the block I seem to remember??. I think it would have been fine if the difference had been identified before.
