There is a happy medium. Use the rubber mounts so it does not rattle and shake but limit movement with a snubber chain. On the torque side or side that rises when you blurp the throttle, use a chain or about 3/16 cable. Mount one end of cable/chain under a bolt in the front of the head or lower on block and the other end to frame or the upper A-frame mount.
Mount with just a little slack so vibration is not xfered but does not allow motor to rock on mounts very far. Repeat on rear of block, under a bolt on scatter shield to frame if needed. You only need to do this on torque side of engine. It does transfer some vibration when taught but much less than solid mounts. I do not think you will like solid mounts but if it tears mounts you may not have a choice.
