There isn't a good quality mount available from any parts store that I know of anymore. I've been round and round with the junk from India and Korea. The rubber is bad and the metal parts don't fit.
I'm going through an issue with a 94 LeBaron trans mount right now and I suspect in the end the kid who owns the car will end up buying the factory mount for $200.
I am going to need new motor mounts for the 340 to go in my Challenger when done. Jim, are you saying that you can't get a good motor mount that looks like factory any longer? How different do the Shumacher mounts look from stock?
Thanks, Joe
The Shumacher poly has a gold irridated bracket that goes on the frame and the poly looks different than the rubber , just spray it black and be done with it.

I second this opinion - been trying to source OEM style BB mounts. I get the same #%$^& part number from India. The steel nub doesn't line up with the hole. There must be thousands but the sales rep swears they never had any returned. ^#&*%* Sent back twice to Mancini before I gave up, once to Summit for the same reason.  
And we continue to out-source  When is America going to wake up a smell the coffee. You'd think there would be more complaints. Perhaps we aren't complaining LOUD enough

Why complain? When its American made its usually expensive as hell and people complain about the price . In most peoples mind its better to buy crappy parts for cheap then buy quality parts that are expensive. Also why pay an American $20 an hour to build the same thing you could get someone in a poor country to do for 20 cents a day. Yes its sad but unfortunately thats the world we live in.

thanks guys...looks like we're going with the Schumachers
Word of warning...His HD poly units are taller than stock. If your clearance to the hood is tight, 0.25 or less, they may not work. I was told they are the same thickness as stock, but they aren't. I guess he can't read a set of calipers. My air cleaner now rubs the hood. I was going to swap out the high dollar hd poly ones for solids and see its lower, just havent got around to calling him back.

Schumacher Creative Services Engine Mounts - Parts Department Lock It Down New Custom Car Parts Accessories Engine Mounts If you're building a new engine for your ride, and you're thinking about reusing your OEM engine mounts in that '67-'72 A-Body, '62-'72 B-Body, '66-'73 C-Body, any year E-Body, '72-'92 Dodge Ram, or D-Series fullsize truck, you're asking for trouble. Those mounts have endured enough over the years, and they're likely to break and set your engine to dancing by itself under your hood. Save the trouble and get a set of Magnum Polyloc engine mounts from Schumacher Creative Services. They're 100-percent American-made with a unique heavy-duty interlocking feature that keeps the mount from pulling itself apart.
