You can buy Energy Suspension Motor mount inserts or the full mount. I also saw someone make their own solid mounts, but I can't remember where on here I saw it.

I made my own.. You can use polyeurthane sealant to make them.. It takes about a week to dry though..

Yep.. Just use a jigsaw to cut alot of the rubber out of the mounts but leave enough in there to keep the center of the mount where it should be.. Then just fill up the mount with the poly. sealant and smooth it out after your done.. Allow like a week to harden.. You might need to grind down any that sticks out past the center of the mount after its dry.. Dont forget to wear gloves while doing this since this stuff is impossible to get off your hands..

i remember seeing homemadeturbo (i think) gluing the energy inserts in to stiffen it up even more.

also, i have the energy suspension mount inserts. i like them, but sometimes i regret getting them cause everything rattles all the time.

I made my own mounts although it might be a little to extreme for your application b/c it will vibrate like crazy. I shaved the rubber off the sides of the mounts first. Then picked up some scrap metal and used a torch to cut them in the same shape of the mounts. The we welded them onto either side of the exsisting mount, therefore creating a true solid mount. However it will rattle the teeth out of your mouth.
