Default engine mount help needed

I noticed my shifter moving forward about a 1/2" the other day under hard acceleration. I did some research and found that it was probably the engine mount that was broken. I opened the hood last night to watched the motor while holding the brake and reving the motor while in gear. SCARY, the motor raised up about 6-8" on the driver side.

I read Woody's cable mod which I will do tonight for a band aide but need to get the problem fixed. I would hate to buy the same OEM mount and only want to do this project once.

I can't believe that a google search shows no hits from our friends on the MB forums with this problem. Does that mean that the slk32 mounts are stronger? I also read where the CL55/E55 mounts are similar in size, would these be stronger?

I have also read up on the poly fill project and would like to go this route but need a donor set of mounts to do this project.

I am not running anwhere close to some of you guys with up to 400hp and would like to get some feedback for what your experiences have been and solutions. I have a new sc pulley coming in soon and this needs to be fixed and prevented.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!
