Those are hallmarks of a poorly done conversion.

Use the proper engine mounts and noise/vibration isn't a problem. But it will always sound like a diesel at idle.
Use the Isuzu gearbox and you'll never need replace it. I have adaptors drawn up to fit it to the LT230 in it's original position.

I'd answer but alas, the "ignore list"

By the way, you can get cast iron Gen 3's, they're canadian blocks
