Thanks, sounds like I maybe on the right track. Please look at my questions below to MrFixit. Have you had any similar problems?

I have the old style Ford engine mounts. I couldn't find them in polyurethane.

I only have room to do this on the driver's side since it is very tight on the other side with the alternator being there. Do you think it will be OK to only restrain the engine on one side. I realize that the engine block goes up on the driver's side so all I have to do is hold it down but what happens on deceleration? Do you think there maybe a problem with this arrangement? Does the engine torque the other way? I have a very nice spot to attach the bottom end to the frame so this should work well, but only on one side.
