Any one use the schumacher mounts to put a 426 hemi on a std big block k-member?, this is a 68 roadrunner. thought I read somewhere that the motor sat a little higher. I want to use headers.
thanks

i have hemi with schumacher mounts on a big block k member in a 72 road runner. TTI headers.
motor sits a bit higher and off to one side, don't remember witch side. it really isn't that far off so you can't make some small adjustments to make it fit.
i have a buddy who installed several hemi's with repo mounts and k members and had just as much trouble getting things to fit as i did with mine.
on mine i would use the 2 1/8" tube headers instead of the 2 1/4" ones.

I used those mounts when I put a Hemi in my '68 Charger. I thought they worked fine. I had an old beat up set of Hooker headers that I massaged a little bit and everything was good to go. I don't know if a better set of headers would have needed massaging or not. I also ran manual steering.

As a matter of fact, I will be putting those same mounts on another engine which I am putting in a '67 GTX originally equipped with a 440.

Which conversion mounts are better, Schumacher or Arruzza? Arruzza looks a little more robust, but the left mount is a solid....

used them to put a hemi in a 67 440 GTX also, was a easy job and worked A-OK.

ok i opend up the box and looked at them and i guiess mine are neither
came with a paperwork showing other mounts and by tinman fabrickation in oak grove mn.
(tinmanfabrication.com) these are the ones sold off e bay and are orange (in the ad) but thay cope pawder coated black and apear to be very nicely made came with all the bolts even to bolt to the block

A buddy of mine has the Schumacher mounts on his 70 Hemicuda clone with a SHAKER hood and everything lines up perfectly.
