Default Engine mount and trans mount question

I have a 383 stroker that is only a few thousands miles old and I need new motor mounts and maybe a trans mount. I have about 750$ to get this and any other little thing that I can include while they are down there. I live in an apartment while going to school so everything will be done at the shop. Besides which mounts you recommend, what are some other things I could do while the labor is there already? Maybe sub frame connectors? It is my DD and I do not go to the track and generally do not street race. So at this point I am just trying to get her to as smooth a ride as possible. Thanks guys!!

I like the poly motor mounts, poly trans mount is more vibration then I
can stand. Stock Trans mount is a dealer item.

If you think the trans mount is worn out, replace it. Just use a stock replacement. I used 3 point subframe connectors and there is a noticeable difference in how stiff my car is compared to my friends car with 2 point subframe connectors.

Awesome thanks. Is there any other low $$ things such as the sub frame connectors I could do? Already going to fix my exhaust leak and do the trans, and engine mounts. Sub frame are the only other lil thing I have heard of doing.
