I will be doing this soon! Word on the street is to stick it in the freezer for a day vs air drying for 3 days.
Hrm.... Check these out. http://www.ebay.com/sch/sis.html?_nkw=PO...di+S3+21mm+
I was planning on doing this myself with some of the shore 70 that I have left. I don't expect much of a difference in driveline slop though. The trans mount as positioned doesn't resist driveline twist. It's so sloppy in stock form that I can't help but think that beefing it up w/poly will change the feel anyway.

Well, it must be tried then.
Slightly OT, but my shore 70 rear diff mounts have been holding up fine, but I'm still think my driveline has excessive slop. Since there's been zero NVH issues with the shore 70 rear diff mounts, I'm thinking I can use stiffer urethane without turning my Mercedes into a racecar.
I don't know if you've noticed, but the throttle lever on the RH (passenger) side of the pump has an unused ball mount on it. I assume the throttle damper can be attached here. I don't see another ball mount to attach the other end of the damper to though.

I suppose you could. I found a guy in 190rev.net that sells a pair of metal ones for $250.
So, my trans mount was a COMPLETE success. Shifting has never been smoother and there is no more lugging in stop and go traffic. The diff between the stock and the modded mount was significant. It did take 9 days to dry and even now the upper cavity is not quite dry. I made several mistakes. One, dont tape up both sides with naval jelly covered tape, it will never dry. Two, unlike some post on the internet, putting it in the freezer does not make it cure faster.
Otherwise I'd recommend this to anyone, I'd be happy to make some.
