same on my tranny mounts....
Not expensive though. We used a vulcanized leaf spring bushing, ie steel-rubber-steel. These are from a Chevy 1-ton. Cost about $15 each max at any auto store. You do have to build new bracketry for the mounts though.
They vibrate more than a big sandwich of rubber but are 10x stronger.

I just drilled a hole through the two steel plates of the standard GQ engine mount and put a M10 bolt and nylock through, no more problems.
