What would be a good strong rubber mount for big block to hot rod frame.

I think your going to have to go full custom.

On the pass side you could invert a spool mount. On drivers side you have tons of room

Start bending up steel
 
For my 66 Dart, I cheated and just bought some weld-on bushings and just attached them to some stock big block engine mounts.

Granted, the bushing is poly and not rubber, but you said it's a hotrod, didn't you? Here are a couple photos of what I did for ideas. You could easily make something similar with stock biscuit or spool mounts though. You just gotta get creative, grab some metal, and get busy.

You can make anything work with spool mounts.
 
Just curious, is there any frame left up front?
Every time I go to a bigger motor I seem to get it pushed further into the cab and lower to the ground I have lots of room up front. 15" crank pulley to radiator.
