Re:Pics of a motor mount problem im having
i'd make a custom mount. that mount will help you put some power to the ground. its what the engine torques back on. when the engine torques (with no mount) it will twist back and ruin your other mounts quicker, not to mention something else. for a long term thing i suggest finding something. using a chain, that u can adjust or something. but i dont know much, so dont take my word for it.

Re:Pics of a motor mount problem im having
Shaking the engine is not an effective way to check the motor mounts. Put the car in gear (or park) with the e brake off, and rock the car by pushing it by the front bumper... back and forth.
If you have a poor mounts you will notice the engine moving excessively.
Check all your mounts for splitting rubber and cracking... now and in the future.
Think about polyurethane inserts, aswell as fabricating a new mount to aid in supporting your investment...
I have seen a mount let go before... had to replace the mount, and one axle.
