The Z Car Workshop here in Brisbane, Australia, sells fabricated poly bushed mounts. But they are not difficult to make, use large poly or rubber suspension spring eye bushes, from a vehicle using semi-elliptic springs. You will need suitably sized steel tubing for the outside and the inside of the bushes so make sure that the bushes you get suit available tubing sizes. If the bushes ever wear out they are easy and cheap to replace.

Alternatively, a bushed torque stay, made as above, extending from the cylinder head to the body will help to control rotational movement of the engine and gearbox. I use one together with stock engine mounts on my 300hp engine.

I had considerd a stay. Where do you attach it? I was thinking of runing from the head to the strut top on the passenger side.
