Default High HP motor question about motor mounts

Hi my civic currently has hasport mounts and its the softest poly version they make, the vibrations in the car at certain RPMs when cruising down the highway drives me nuts, I think the main culprit is the mount between the motor and firewall, so my question is what can i do to lower the vibrations and still keep the motor pretty still under full power? i was thinking of putting a OEM mount in the spot between the block and firewall and filling it with 3m urethane and leaving the hasport ones at the other locations. does any one know if this will work ? the car is a 92 civic and it currently makes a tad over 500 to the wheels so any advice or personal experiences in lowering the vibrations would be great.

Thats the one that takes most of the torque.i have that one 3m filled and the rest are stock.I have a small buzz through the gears but none at any cruse speeds.I would try changing the tranny or the timing belt area one to stock first and see if that stops the vibration.
