I've wondered about this.

The 429/460 gets away with using the same two bolts, but the triangulation support created by the FE's three bolt geometry is very comforting.

You may be on the right track with two fresh bolts at the outboard positions (top and bottom) and leaving the center bolt out. It might be worth rechecking the bolts in a month to learn whether there has been any loosening.

I have no first hand experience in running with two bolts, but since it was the middle bolt that did not fit, and since many other Ford engines do no have this bolt on their starters, it may not be required.

JMO,
Shoe.
