Hi , I have used Collins engine mounts on mine. I found them to send a slight vibration through the car at first(torshen on starting) but feel nothing now.
I would stay with standard gearbox mount if I were you, I have a virbotec of what ever it's called never fitted as I want the quietest/smoothest Cosworth I can get.

Cheers. Tim

Collins engine and 'modded' vibratechnic gearbox mount

Mods here, if you trial fit a solid mount in the cradle you will automatically see why they vibrate, they touch on every single corner and box mounting bolts so they just need a file here and there and sorted - Ades pictures

vibratec engine mounts are quite solid and send vibration through the car , I would not fit them unless you needed to , also had them in with a N/A pinto with a high lift cam and well that was nearly making the interior mirror fall off lol
