Polyurethane engine mounts?
I have searched summit and energy suspension for engine mounts with no luck. Is anyone making polyurethane engine mounts for a 72 cutlass?

Not to my knowledge. We've discussed this here a while back do a search.

A few years ago I emailed a few potential suppliers (Energy Suspension, PST...) and nobody even replied.

No one makes poly mounts for your car. Rocket racing makes a solid engine mount that you can mount on the drivers side and run a rubber on the passenger side.

If I were concerned about engine movement I’d likely run a torque chain/cable. Solid mounts would not be friendly to the frame.

GM had a cable in the early 60's for those vehicles with solid throttle rods. Solved the problem of broken mount jamming the rod at speed.

Oldsmobile had one front mount in the middle beneath the harmonic balancer and this was a "quick fix".
