Could you be more specific what you mean by a "torque limiter", are you talking about how much torque the engine puts out or a means of physically restraining the block from rocking/torquing on it's mounts?

'82s don't have enough torque to begin with

I know of RPM limiters; but I've never heard of a 'torque limiter' and don't think a stock '82 engine would need one.
