I am having no luck finding a reasonable (not cheap....just reasonable) HEMI K-Frame for a 1969 B-Body (Superbee), In fact, I haven't found one at all.

There are a few Hemi K Frames on Ebay for 67-68 B-Body for $2200+, but I'm not going to spend that much for the wrong year......

Anyway, I do not care about the stamp on the front at this point, I just need a K-Frame that will allow me to install a 426 Hemi in my 69 Superbee. It's not an original HEMI Car, so # match is not important.

The Question:
Does anyone sell Hemi Conversion Brackets that will allow me to Cut off the engine mount brackets from my 440 K-Frame and Weld in the Hemi Brackets, once my engine is set, leveled and squared up exactly where it is supposed to go ?


Thanks in advance ?

Mike

What about using conversion mounts?

Hemispherical Productions (sic) in Hemet, CA used to offer exactly what you are looking for. Unfortunately they went out of business many years ago. I bought the passenger side mount bracket from them when they were available but the driver's side I never needed.

No longer in business best I can tell. I needed a set of mounts for an LA in a Cuda, found one in Canada last winter, last one I could find anywhere.

I thought I read recently on this site that someone had gotten Schumacher to cut loose and allow them to make his mounts or is the above place the one I'm thinking of ?

Send your wedge K-frame to Al Debevic in WI and he will do the conversion. He did one for me and it was perfect.

It isn't very difficult for a good street rod fab guy to modify a stock K frame to work with a Hemi. Street rod guys build cars from the ground up so bending up some 10 gauge steel plates to build a motor mount bracket isn't exactly rocket science. If you have a Hemi engine and a stock K frame just take them to a street rod shop and ask them to build a set of mounts. Or pull your K frame and send it to someone for the conversion.

There are pictures and measurements available to help with the conversion so it isn't super secret. I hang out at a local chassis shop that builds a lot of street rods and race cars and they could do the conversion in one day. They build custom front suspensions for street rods in 3 or 4 days and do complete engine swaps in just a few days. So all you have to do is find the right fab shop to help you.

I have a set of Arruzza mounts if your interested. Charlie.

Not seeing them on the site anywhere.

Call them.

Too bad you didn’t make it to Carlisle. I saw one for $1750 and one for $1000. No difference between the two that I noticed.

There is a lot of good information above, thank you all very much for the info.

I will be calling Arruzza and Schumacher to see if they are in stock.

Thank You Again,

I highly recommend Al. He will take your K frame make sure straight. Fix any issues and do the conversion including brackets, insulators and hardware at an extremely reasonable price. Shipping a K frame is not that expensive believe it or not. He did my 1970 B body conversion recently. Extremely happy.

This!!!!!!!

Any idea what Al charges for the conversion?

I can't do it now but since it is getting harder to get parts like this it may be a good idea to spring for one while they are available.

its a phone call , just do it !!!
