I think it's not emphasized enough that the Sierra mounts offer much more comfort than the Land Rover V8 mounts.
I4 engines have an inherent dynamic imbalance that makes the engine vibrate up-down at two times the frequency of the crankshaft. This is usually countered with soft engine mounts that eat this vibration. Land Rover mounts are very stiff and don't absorb much of that vibration, making the whole car noticeably vibrate on idle. This adds to the sporty feel of loud exhaust, no windshield, GRP seats.
