   Do we think it's worth replacing these to uprated items while the engine is out for a conversion?

   Depends how hardcore you want to be..
   
   Your car will probably feel like a giant vibrating dildo afterwards, even with GRP N mounts. Go for GRP A mounts if you are a complete nut-job.
   
   I have been in cars with uprated engine mounts and it didn't bother me, but then I didn't have to sit in them day after day.

   i put GRP Ns on mine and it rattle and squeeked to fuck. thought the dash was going to drop off. took them off and went back to standard.
   
   imo there is no point.
