Default Need help mounting first gasser

I'm looking for some advise on mounting my first gas engine. The project is an AW 29% Edge with a BME 50. Now when I ordered the engine, I asked the salesman for his suggestions on an engine mount and I ended up with a DuBro 1.20 size soft mount. I have one of these on a GP extra with an OS 1.20 4-stroke and it made a world of difference. So I went ahead and used it (as you can see in the picture I had a machinist friend make some standoffs to get the spacing). Anyway, I hooked everything up and ran the engine. Now I know gas engines are a little shaky, but it seems a little excessive. I've read some of the other posts and it seems that everyone has their engine "hard mounted" and there is some discussion on using standoffs or using ply spacers. So finally my question is, does it look ok or should I do some reworking?
