Engine Mount OE Replacement Suggestions

My engine/trans mounts are shot and I was hoping to replace them with OE Ford parts paired with Powerflex inserts (street). Problem is, one of the mounts (C1BZ-6038-C) is on national backorder. I like the idea of being able to remove the inserts if so desired, and that combo is overall cheaper than getting Vibra-technics or AWR mounts. Seems like my only other option is one of the random brands carried by RockAuto/O'Reilly's/etc...but would any of those be a decent OE replacement? Or is it a moot point considering the Powerflex inserts would be carrying most of the load?

Just buy all Vibratechnics mounts and never look back* I've owned them and they are great! [driving]

I work in Ford parts.

C1BZ-6038-C is NOT on national backorder, If a Ford dealer ordered it, it can be next day if its in their facing PDC, otherwise maybe a couple days.

I personally have AWR mounts and love them. The inserts are a nice touch since you can change them out if you want.

Yeah, it's weird that Tasca told me they were, but then I was able to find them from another online retailer with a bit of searching.

I've had the inserts on my shelf for a minute now so going to give them a try and see how it goes.
