John Arruzza makes Hemi mounts for V8 k-frames. http://www.arruzzahighperformance.com/Parts/Parts.html at the very bottom. Puts the engine 1/2in. lower than the Schumachers.
Don't cut corners on the mounts.

What kind of car? If you are building an E-body with a shaker hood, I recommend either buy a hemi k-frame, or have one converted, or use the Arruzza mounts. If your engine is 1/2 high, you'll have shaker fitment problems. If you add a Stage V intake manifold, you'll have problems. Other cars, not so much...

I used the Schumacher mounts without first knowing it would change the shaker height making it too high.
A buddy let me try out his shaker to see how it would look using them.
Looks like I'll have to pull out the engine and sendin the K member.

I built my own patterned after the Arruza mounts but stronger. His were tearing up holding up a little 426. Stage V intake on mine but I also built a lower aircleaner base.

Not an optimal solution, but you might use 3/8 spacer between k-frame and rails. Some here said racers have used this method for years.

Schumacher mounts put the engine high. I have them. OP has them. Other have them. If you dig up the correct measurements you'll probably discover you are 3/8 to 1/2 inch higher than spec. Regardless of what Schumacher says... I'm just waiting for the right time to replace mine with the Arruzza set I bought.
Edit: what is the shim kit about? Where do the shims go and how do they change the engine position?
