I would go for motor mount inserts instead, unless they are illegal for some racing class you plan to run in. They will increase cabin vibration though.

in my dreams I have thought of such a thing. if we can put suspension on a chassis, why not on the motor itself... I vouche for the idea as being sound, someone guinea up and try it
