Default 2285 SBC Engine Mount options

Hey all, doing some maintenance on my LS swapped Jaguar and found the Anchor 2285 SBC style clamshell engine mount broken in two on the driver's side. Running between 400-500 whp/tq so may have overwhelmed them based on direction of engine rotation. The rubber just delaminated from the stamped steel.

Is there another more reliable OEM style mount that will hold up longer than 5K miles? I don't want to keep throwing cheap mounts at this thing, and want to retain OEM levels of NVH. Thanks!

That number crosses with 67-69 Camaro/firebird. Poly mounts are readily available for them
3.1114R for example

My only hesitation with poly is NVH. How much harsher is one poly mount?

Engine mounts should be in pairs. The trans mount can be rubber,

I just bought a single 31114 ES poly mount for the driver's side. Did some reading and it is not uncommon for folks to run one stiffer one. I really want to keep NVH down on this this. Will report back with results once I finish rebuilding the steering rack.
