Just run solids on both sides. There is no reason not to.

I’ve run the solid / stock combo for years with good results. Works well in my experience. I’m going to change out the stock one this winter as it seems to be moving a little more than it used to.

hi
keep the stock or poly mounts and install a restrictor device .
i use a short piece of chain last 30 years and cost less than $10.
Chains stretch, just like eye bolts do I've use a solid strap from the sub frame or K member bolted to the upper power steering bolt boss on the BB water pumps for years with no wear or failures so far I'm a racer first and may be less concerned over creatures comforts than some others on here

I have always used a simple hardware store turnbuckle on the driver's side. Have never had a problem doing it that way.

Or should I go to grade 8? Has anyone broken the mount bolts? I drove for years and years and years with them on both sides. No one who rode with me knew. Never had a complaint about vibration, and the gals I dated back then would [censored] about anything. The vibration thing just doesn't happen. You can use grade 8 bolts, I just don't know why you need them. They won't hurt. I have the poly late style mounts (73 and newer) and I HATE them. If you've driven a car with solid mounts and then drive one with these newer style mounts it's just not the same. The biggest mistake I made was not buying a 72 and earlier K frame when I redid the car. That was a bone head move. I have the Schumacher mounts, and while they are nice and all, they ain't solid mounts, and they never will be. When I stumble across and earlier K frame I'll snatch it up, fix it (they all need work) and gladly go back to solid mounts on both sides. FWIW, I don't run any cables, chains, turnbuckles or other crap like that. For one, they look farmyard to me. The other is I've seen them actually pull the front cylinder out of round. More than once.

I've ran stock type rubber mounts both sides, ripped em to shreds many times street racing. Not actually fun. I've ran solid driver's rubber passengers no problems. I've ran solid both sides, no problem. I've ran solid motor plates and elephant ears on the street no problems. I like the locking Schumacher type mounts the best for a street car myself.
Just keep a rubber trans mount IMO!!!

It doesn't take much to break rubber mounts. Trust me!! If you run rubber toss a limiting device on IMO

Schumacher poly engine mounts are nice and should work fine for your application. They also make a nice torque strap. I use both on my 525ish hp 505" in 72 Challenger.

Also, on Jegs and Summit, the Moroso solid mounts are listed with the cars they fit, (66-70 B-body), but oddly enough don't state Charger. Is this because there is a difference between Chargers and other B-bodies? (sadly, like many other parts), or is it simply a mistake? Since no one will answer this part of your question... Chargers use the same motor mounts as other B-bodies. It must have been an oversight in the description. As a side note I have ran solid mounts on both sides of my wife's Cuda' with a 512 for 20 years. No issues street or strip. Digger73 (Mike)
