What do people use as a engine mount bush

What are people using for engine mount bushs? Looking for something like a large wishbone bush rather than a ones with bolts each end

eBay bush

Not used them personally, but these guys do universal bits with various Shore ratings.

if that's used for a car engine it'll rattle your teeth out, nothing worse than a vibrating car for more than a few mins and a hard mount doesn't give you any more HP than a nice soft one

Slightly OT - but is there any reason I could not use one of these 'bolt at each end' types, with a fabricated steel cradle (basically a 'bathtub' type shape ) to replace the 'Type 9' kind of gearbox mounting I have on my Ford g'box at the moment?
