Is it 2 screws?
Thank you, and forgive my English, I live in Spain and I use the Google translator. sorry

That will be 2-bolt main caps. The typical wisdom is 2-bolt mains are good up to about 800 HP, so unless your plans are to go beyond that you don't need to add a girdle or go to 4-bolt main caps.
