If you're wearing out solid motor mounts now then you may want to consider installing a motor plate instead. Torque straps are typically used on engines with rubber mounts.
Did you install a solid trans mount when you installed solid engine mounts?
My engine has solid mounts and does not move at all and I don't have a torque strap and it should not be needed on a solid mount set up, I have only seen them used with rubber mounts on the driver's side.

I did not know that I dont think i have a solid trans mount. Ill have to look. Im not whereing out the motor mounts. The old ones I had in the car before, I rebuilt the motor where a thinner steel and had some issues with the torque ( they where alittle twisted. The ones the are in it now are the ones from Mondello and are alot thicker, so im not that worried about them breaking. I have to check but the wrong size bolts could have been put in the mounts that hold the motor itself. Ill have to look at that.
