Default XJ Motor mount issue

I have a 92 XJ. The passenger side motor mount bolts broke off in the block. I've been able to get one out, one has an extractor broke off in it and the other hole got to messed up in the extraction process to be used again possibly. The design on the motor mounts for the in-line 6 in my opinion are crap. I've got one bolt in the mount on the block and a backup strap that goes from the DS motor mount to the PS motor mount across the oil pan as backup. My question is, is there like an upgraded motor mount set up for XJs that is out that is maybe better? I'm bringing it to a shop to see what they can do for me about the other 2 bolts but if they can't help me am I really going to have to get a new engine?

Block mounts that use more then just the stock bolt holes.

I'm a newb, but I have to agree with Vee0rg, BrownDog motor mounts is an EXCELLANT product and company. Owners answer the phones, very friendly, extremley knowledgeable, and completely stand behnd thier products. I was going to do Rusty's Offroads, but they definately require "fitting", Brown Dog's are a direct fit and available in a rubber mount; set up like a poly... Best price too!

yeah, I run Browndog mounts in my XJ, one of the best upgrades I've done so far.
