Which motor mount are you referring too ?

If you using Vette with a round donut. yes.. use the lub.

If it is the SBC or other simular type of motor mounts, I would not think that there is any servicable area that has contact that you would need to apply Lub too?...

You can lub up the through bolt.. but it would only be in a small area of contact with metal to metal, not the poly..

So.. which type of motor mount are you referring too?
