 i drive like an animal though.  so if you don't find that your motor 
is floping too much I wouldn't do it.  but if it seems to be moving 
too much do it.  I think the mount was $30.

As I understand it, It's not so much that you want some rocking as much as
vibration dampening. Poly up front seems like it's doing the job. Id recommend
no more than an HD in the back to avoid having all those engine vibes
transmitted into the interior through the firewall.

Besides, if there isn't _some_ give somewhere, then maybe the chassis will
take a beating.

I'm not the most experienced in this area, but them's my thinkins',
