.... or do away with the recently pruchased engine mounts 
and fit land rover ones, like these.
then make a box at 45 degree from the top to the engine, much in the style of the haynes roadster book?
would that be better option?
^^^ those a series Land Rover moutns - anyone know if the one in photo are fro front or rear of engine, as well as size (diameter/thickness/stud
thread)?
taq.
i would prefer this method as it would be less stresses on the metal that you would fabricate,
IMO of course, but as i,m building a roadster maybe i,m biased towards this method

Those mounts are these I think
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Land-Rover-Defender-V8-Engine-Mount-Mounting-Rubbers_W0QQitemZ250376113124
Equivalent to land Rover Part numbers: ANR1808, STC434, NRC9560, NTC5900, RTC6115, ANR2471
The measurements of these mounts are:
Thickness/height: 37mm
Diameter: 77mm
Studs: M10 x 20mm Male both sides
Very cheap!
Yes they are these one. Exactly the ones I got as well.
With the interleaf, you will get less axial deflection too, with limited change in axial shear, which is proberbly a good thing.
(that is about the sum total of my knowlage of mounts gone)
Need a pair myself.

I use those mounts too.
Rock solid and cheap as chips 
Rather strangely, my local factors had the LR engine mounts listed for £8 each but gearbox mountings for £4.50 each. They're exactly the same!!!
