Is the engine running rough? If the engine is idling smoothly, I'd check out the front and rear roll resistors (motor mounts) If one of those is torn it lets the engine move around too much.
 
They only make an insert for the front roll restrictor, not the mounts or the rear roll restrictor. I just ordered a poly rear RR from Pole120.

Check bat for OE replacement ones and an insert http://64.202.180.37/files/cdrive.pdf or you can try Bill Jenkins or the like. Either way I'd pull yours out and look inside them to see if they actually look damaged. Then you'll know for sure if they're the problem and you can also pinpoint if one or both need to be replaced ;) They don't take all that long to pull out, maybe a half hour each once you have the car up. I'd take one out at a time and you shouldn't have to worry about supporting your engine.
