you can put as bolt and two fender washers through most motor mounts to make it less stretchy. An aluminum flywheel will make the biggest improvement in eliminating motor torque-over, excluding solid motor mounts. If you use a chain as a torque strap, it will stretch and become worthless in a very short amount of time.
