Scrap the whole idea mate and get a front mount fitted.
Upgrading the top mount is like trying to make your fridge cooler by blowing on it.

Either get a plate made, or get it welded up my a local fabrication shop. some STI top mounts are good for 400 BHP, I'd stick with the top mount
fridge cooler by blowing on it ...
