I've seen previous posts on here, but can anyone with real world experience school me on putting a hemi in an E body using a B/RB k frame using Schumacher or Aruzza mounts? I've seen mixed reviews with both... Just wanna know if they'll really work with no issues??? TIA

I put a Hemi in a 1970 B body using the Schumacher mounts. Everything fit perfect. They give almost none when revving the engine.

I have spoken with him. He said that everyone's case seems to be different. So, he told me to install the engine and whatever kind of adjustments I'd need he would offset new brackets and provide them for me. He never mentioned anything about shims for the shaker??? Can you elaborate some?

ok the reason why he puts motor up higher is cause to clear pass valve cover on shock tower now when you drop mount so your shaker fits...that alum cover will come so close or kiss tower...then if that happens you will need shims...they go in between block and mount...good luck...i got mine sitting money...every car is different so good luck.

I've done several B/E B/RB K frames using the Schumacher drop mounts, the valve cover will be within 1/4" to 1/2" of the passenger tower (stock covers) some cars required a shim, some didn't, all fresh air hood cars too....you see many posts on this subject, and many complaints of hood interference on fresh air cars, I think the problem is lack of communication/information from both the customer and supplier in regards to the entire application, to simply ask for swap mounts, that's what you get, take the time to parlay more info on your swap to the vendor, this will/should yield the right parts

Reading previous posts/problems is what prompted me to call Schumacher before even ordering the swap mounts. I told him my application and expressed my concern over the issues. He reassured me that any issues I had after installing, he would work dilligently to resolve. As stated earlier, he said that he handles each on a case by case basis. Too many variables to be able to say one set fits all....

I have one of Gary's 426 hemis (MP crate) in my cuda up here in Alberta CA and it is running just fine. Its making lots of power. I'm using the original v8 k member with Schumacher mounts. All fit well with zero installation problems. I haven't picked up the shaker kit for it yet so don't know if I'll have any height issues.
