Here is a very cheap and effective isolation mount I saw on a fish farm barge in Vietnam.

I have to wonder if that fuel tank setup is safer than copper    ;D

Airbags would work to isolate, but they have no damping abilities, or locating abilities-  as soon as that setup hit the "sweet spot" in rpms, it would bounce severely.  Trucks use shock absorbers along with the airbags.
I like this system, but then I like quick and dirty solutions that work.  It cushions, dampens, and locates all at the same time.  Now where's the thumbs up smiley here?
I love the smell of diesel smoke in the morning!
