I agree with Jim.
I will add that a hard mounted engine in a fiberglass fuselage will produce a lot of vibration that can be quite destructive.
I have a run the same engine in the same airframe (all wood) hard mounted and with a soft mount and I was unable to detect any difference in flight performance. The hard mounted version was definitely louder.
