Very good question. I as also awaiting this answer.
I could see it helping if you used a solid torque brace (or 2) mounting the transmission case to the frame but not the A-arms. Wheel hop comes from the reverse oscillation of the entire powertrain. If you are not running solid engine and transmission mounts with a torque brace or two you are not stopping this problem at the beginning.
Could be a viable solution... I haven't heard about the ATX Contiques with significant mods (I know, I know) having wheel hop problems. There was a post a while back that indicated it may be due to the pre-loading of the drive line.
Then again, with less give at the suspension, then more of the stresses induced by the engine movement are now heaped onto the roll restrictors & engine mounts...  Stopping wheel hop at the source would be the way to go, ideally.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
