Red face HD transfer case mount with Buick v6 swap?

I have an 82 long bed with a 3.8 Buick v6 swap. The motor mounts are trashed so I will be replacing those but i was wondering if I should upgrade the t-case mount to a HD one from 4xinovations? Ive heard that installing solid motor mounts will create a tun of vibrations but what about two normal mounts and just a solid t-case one? It will be mostly an offroad vehicle but will have to be tolerable on the way to and from trails and such.
Thanks!

Yes upgrade them to the 4xInnovations mounts.
I have the 4xinnovation mounts on my set of dual cases.
Bullet proof

They have them on sale for $55 right now!
Do you get a lot of vibrations from them or any other on road issues?

There is a difference between the stock mount once you get used to it I seldom notice any more.

I only really noticed when in neutral sitting at a light.

I swapped out to a HD trans case mount a little over a year ago and am very pleased with it. I do get a slight vibration above 60 but its not a vibration that I necessarily feel. I really only notice it because my rearview mirror vibrates a little and distorts the vision.

Sweet, the 3.8 is a pretty shaky setup so as long as this thing wont rattle every bolt loose it looks like a good option to strengthen up the drive train.

I did get vibrations but I also have the solid bomb proof motor mounts from T-G.
It is a 35 year old trucks, everything shakes and rattles
