I don't know of any but solid motor mounts should do the trick. Vibes arn't as bad as you think even in a daily driver.

Your car doesn't make enough power to need one and the motor mounts are probably wore out

Do poly motor mounts and a poly trans mount as well, but you need to grind the bottom of the trans mount to get it to sit flush.

The motor mounts keep the motor from rocking left to right, and the trans mount keeps it from rocking up and down if that makes sense.

I've seen one pic of somebody using a load binder
strap. I wouldn't recommend that.

I had an old Buick Wildcat motor once that had a
factory torque strap, a steel "bridge" between two
head bolts (outers were not under the vale cover)
and a swaged cable from that to the upper A-arm.
Looked solid, it was a 445 lb-ft motor back in the
day on soft rubber mounts.
