Another alternative is to use hockey pucks for side motor mounts. My '80 GLi has one on the passenger side along with some rubber to shim it up to the right height. I'm making one for the driver's side right now and I think I'm going to use two and cut one down to the right height. I drilled a 1/2" hole in it and pressed a 3/4" long 1/2" OD, 3/8" ID brass bushing into it. A 3" long 3/8" diameter bolt is used to secure it.
A guy I know was talking to Stig Blomquist once back in the '80s at a rally. He showed him the 99 rally car that they were running and pointed out that they were using hockey pucks for motor mounts. Stig said something to the effect of "Yes, thats what we used on the works cars too."
