You'll hate to read this, but those struts for "dampening" are having zero effect. You're still transferring it to the frame. Engines need to slightly twist from the torque of the rotating assembly to reduce vibrations. Rubber, poly mount bushings are required to dampen them. It'll make it worse if anything using solid rods. The fuel tank is odd too, you could have modified the original mazda fuel pump to fit into the triumph fuel tank. I know, because I've done it and it's a much better solution than a fuel cell.
... Fuel tank isn't mounted incorrectly at all. No solid mounts on the engine. You will break things. Left brace tubes are useless. Same with right side. Manifold should brace to engine block, not to chassis.
i think maybe you could utilize engine mount vibration dampers to the intake manifold strut brace.
I did add a rubber grommet to the bolt that attaches to the intake support in hopes of some dampening!

Agree, and bonus is the tank is lower. Well, it lowers the centre of gravity = better handling? Just a though from a neophyte….

agreed, pull all those "braces" off before breaking things!
