solid motor mount

ok i am having problems with my engine moving way to much. So i am thinking of using the ac braket bolt on it. then puttin a old watts bar between a braket on there and one on the frame. i think this will work and will actually look nice with the least amount of welding. if i am also right i can get away with this in scca. because technically it is not a solid motor mount. what do yuo guys think? i got this idea from a picture i saw on here it was on a blue car with mickey slicks and i think it was an aussies car.

As you can see that's a crank angle sensor. This dude runs a 13B-RE with full engine management.

BTW, even if that was a dizzy the timing would be retarded not advanced. Turning the dizzy clockwise advances the timing.

If I patented it then it wouldn't be a cheap-n-sleazy modification would it?
