Early in my racing, I drove in a stockcar class that required we run factory motor mounts, we all added a chain as a torque-strap to the driver's side of the motor.
This is a tried and true solution. best of both worlds, you get the refined dampening characteristics of the stock mount and then you have a cable to keep it from being pulled past its "yield point". Others here have done this too. it would be good to post some pictures of the cable type and routing you ended up with as this is a good mod for those who twist their motor to the limit
