Default OEM motor mounts in a kswap eg/ej

Hi everyone, greetings.
I’m new to the k series world but not to swapping in general. I have a 95 civic coupe, and I’ve had 2 d series, then 2 b series and now a k20a2. For the most part it’s a lot more fun than the latter motors, in my opinion. I had a particular question regarding the swap of anyone can give me some insight. I’m wondering if I can use OEM motor mounts in a k swap. I know about how much stronger and more rigid aftermarket, polyurethane mounts are but I hate the vibration and rattling all
over the car. I’ve switched back to OEM when I’ve had both my b series and I never had a problem. I’m only using my car for daily driving so no track or drag use. Just wondering if there is a way to go back to OEM for that stock mount experience as the vibrating and rattling is driving me crazy.

My current set up is a:

k20a2 with a 2015 Civic Si 6 spd LSD trans

Any help is appreciated if anybody has had any experience with this particular issue.

I know for an S2000, a friend who did a K swap on his fabricated his own mount brackets to work with OEM and Mugen motor mounts so he didn't have to deal with poly mounts. Not sure the same could be done on older EG/EK chassis...

What durometer bushings are you using on your current mounts? Did you get the lowest durometer offered?
