How much vibration with solid motor mounts?

I'm working on getting my parts together for my swap. I have the poly clamshell mounts on my sbc now and I don't like how much the engine still moves with an auto trans. I'm going to a stick, so I'd like less movement.

I've driven a mustang with solid mounts and I didn't think the vibrations were bad, I kinda liked the feel of the engine.

I'm hoping to just fabricate my own at work, but obviously I won't do the engine side if solids are too annoying.
