Default Motor mounts

My left mount is bad. The motor lifts up and thuds back down if I gun it below roughly 20mph. I am somewhat confused though, as the ones I have appear to be the "safety" type, not the non safety type.

Do the "safety type still allow the engine to pull up 3/4 of an inch?? I can see a mark in the floor pan where the trans was hitting.

Should I stick with the safety or is the plain rubber OK from Advance Auto Parts. I have an estimated 250 hp right now and am planning no further mods till the engine dies.

Thanks!!

The "safety" type prevent the motor from moving in an accident. They still go bad. Replace with the same kind.Paragon is good

And in the days the throttle linkage was a solid rod, it kept the thing from binding and holding it at WOT..
