The only mount that really needs improving is the L one as it is the one that takes the abuse under forward acceleration. (Motor torques to the R passenger side). I have alwaays just used a 3/4 to 1 inch wide piece of strap steel off the front of the motor straight down to the k member.
For 159.00 I'd send them back if possible beer


see pics - mity mount for driver side has 2 simple bolts screwed thru. and they screw into the steel plate on the other side of rubber. In fact the shearing strength of stock 383 is goint to rip it in 5k miles - like on my pic. this was a similar "design" used by my mechanic. it lasted 5k miles.

this is mity mount for driver side:

A simple piece of strap steel tied to the K-frame will end the torn motor mount issue while being barely noticeable vibration wise. I use to hide them back in the street racing days. We were swapping motors one time trying lift the existing one out. The engine hoist kept lifting the front of the car ???? Duhhh catfight the hidden torque strap was still in place LOL beer
