Where to get them? Would like to go to them and ditch my solid mounts, but can't find them.

That's what they do. They couldn't take the heat from headers.

I believe Schumacher is all done too.

I just recently purchased a set of Myte Mounts from Dynatech Engineering. They look pretty good, I haven’t installed them yet.

I use the Schumacher poly mounts on my 62. Purchased back in 2007 or 8 but not much run time since then, and also havnt raced it yet.
So far they’re holding up smile . I use their torque strap as well.

I purchased the Mity Mounts. The disclaimer says life time warranty but not for racing applications. I'm going to give them a try at this point. Driver side is the only side with the the countersunk screws. Passenger side looks pretty much like a stock mount.

I tried the poly mounts on my A-Body and found they transmitted too much vibration into the car and were very stiff. I swapped them out for a set of stock rubber mounts and the Schumaker torque strut. The vibration was gone and I have not had any issues since.

I have Mity Mounts on my Shaker hood E-Body, so the Shaker can do it's thing. After a few years of use, I found the driver's side mount had nearly pulled the cap stud through the plate of the mount. I replaced it with another Mity Mount and installed a short length of chain to keep the engine from lifting up too far any more. THere is a lot of strain on the driver's side motor mounts in high hp/torque applications especially with drag radials.

I learned that it's a good idea to combine a strut, strap or chain to help limit overall lift of the motor on acceleration especially when you have high torque and horsepower.
