I used two straps. One on each side of the back of the block, like a mid-plate, since it was twisting in the tranny mount also. (Fixit, the new motor will have the al flywheel) Heim joints on each end of a lh/rh threaded rod. Easy to preload for a bit of support, no difference in vibration really. Had it not been for the weak tranny mount (Shell Valley, not ERA) I would have done Mr Fixit's bolt through the motor mount thing. Out of sight, simple and effective.
