IMO Good luck with anything but a solid mount at least on the drivers side.
Or use rubber mounts, none of new ones are worth a $%#^ anymore and use a chain from frame to headbolt or front of head on drivers side with about a 1/4" or less slack in it.
Another option are the poly mounts, Ive never used them on motor but I hear they are good. I have poly mounts on the trans on two cars and they seem ok. Resistant to oil which kills rubber. Stock replacement rubber mounts for motor and trans are mostly from India and China and the rubber rips out easily.
I believe the mitymounts are ordinary rubber mounts with the lock tab bent up which you can do yourself if you look at them you'll see what I mean. I did that on my 63 which has the same mounts as early Birds and its been good for many years with only 400hp and only seldom driven so your results may vary with more power and miles.
Sounds like you have a FUN ride there!
