Wanting to put a 413 in a '62 Fury that currently has a \6. From what I understand my options are the following:

-Find '62 big block K-member
-Find '62 small block K-member and find conversion motor mounts
-Find '63-'63 big block K-member which will put the engine/tranny ~1 5/8" further back
-Find '63-'65 small block K-member and find conversion motor mounts that will put the engine/tranny ~1 5/8" further back.

Do I have this correct?

Anyone know if, or when, Schumacher's will be selling parts again?

If I recall correctly, very early 62 B Body had unique V-8 k-frame and motor mounts. The motor mount isolator sat on top of the actual k-frame mount. Later in the year they went to the angled mount design that ran all the way to the seventies “in design”. At least the last 4 cars I did worked that way.

That being said, there are two K-frames AFTER this change to the angled design. One for slant six and one ALL V-8’s (except Hemi of course).
A late 62 or 63-65 V-8 k-frame will accept any V8 if you have the correct engine brackets and isolators (except Hemi of course).
62-65 had the engine farther forward. 66 and later will bolt in the car but moves the engine back.

There was some info on another thread showing the '62 using a pedestal under each ft mount.
My '63 & '64 didn't, they had normal angled brackets at the K.
Engine location fore/aft is the same 62-65 I think, both my '63 & '64 had the same forward location (vs '66-up) but I don't recall my '65.

I'm ignorant when it comes to the early b-bodies, I'm just learning. I thought the '63-'65 k-members moved the engine back but maybe it's only the '66 and up. So if I get a late '62 - '65 V-8 k member and the engine should drop right in and will be in the stock location. If I get the early '62 k member with the flat engine mounts then I'll need pedestals in addition to the mounts.

Yeah, pretty much every year '62-'65 there were changes.
'62-'63 share a lot of dash & firewall & upper door frame architecture, '64-'65 is very different.
Lots of '62 stuff is one year only.
They juggled rear axle width, too, and IIRC, leaf spring length on early Bs.
Later transmissions require a '66 speedo cable, and I recall some kinda hassle updating e-brake cables to run a later rear axle.
Used to be Imperial Services & Schumacher were go-tos; both are gone now, but I think someone has stepped into that market.

just put in a 63-65 k member and buy the brackets and mounts from Joesixpak here on moparts simple deal once you get the k member in.

Thanks for the information. I'll check into the brackets and mounts.

Can you confirm one thing for me?? Does the 63-65 k member put the engine in the stock location or does it push it back?

Hopefully they start producing some of the engine swap mounts!!

62-65 k member in a 62-65 car keeps the engine in the stock location.
66 and later k frame in a 62-65 moves the engine back.

When using the 62-65 K frame the motor is in the stock location. The motor sets pretty far forward. Using a fan clutch is really tight. The upper cowl edge is the same 62-65. It it was going to be a hot rod I'd use the 66-70 K frame to set the motor back.

This won't be a drag car and I'm considering (only considering at this time) putting in a 413 max wedge crossram intake in the car. I've heard they don't fit too well when the engine is pushed back.

My 62 uses the correct standard k frame and mounts. There is only 1-1/4” between the back of the manifold and the firewall.
Sorry, pic is upside down.

The other thing you want to be careful on is oil pan selection.
Mine clears but the 62-65 k frames have a wild radius on the passenger side and because these cars had a lot of engine offset to the passenger side many pans hit.

I would suggest taking an empty trans case and block and install it in the car and try whatever pan you plan to use.
I have seen some deep sump pans made to fit this application, but good idea to try it before building the engine.

I've heard of oil pan fitment issues but wasn't familiar with the details. Thanks for the tip.
