After the mounts and all are OK you might think about a snubber. I often use a chain with links large enough to allow a 3/8's bolt to be put in a link. Place the bolt/chain in the front of the left cylinder head and then run chain down to the frame or upper control arm. Leave chain just loose enough to move a little but limit any rocking of engine on its mounts.

This is the best of all worlds because it has less vibration than solid motor mounts but allows very little movement. GM used a cable instead of a chain but did the same thing on BB Vettes on late 80's models. Works great.
