Hey Jason: Just some helpful info: What you are looking for was never made by Mother Mopar. The 63-66 A bodies came with the 273 V8.
The driver side mounting tabs on the 273/318 block are slightly different than the 340/360, so the 63-66 v8 mount has to be modified to work on a 340.
Schumacher Creative services makes a kit to do the installation but they have been back ordered for the last year or so.

Here is a look at the original 273 mounts but this set is sold:
[SOLD] - 63-66 Barracuda V8 Motor Mounts
At this point your options are limited: Wait for Schumacher to restock or find a FABO member who bought a set of them and didn't use them. Or get a set of the original 273 mounts and try the mod yourself.
Good Luck!

Yes sir. I pretty much knew all of that. I had sent an e-mail to Schumacher asking about projected availability but I have not gotten a response as of yet. Thank you for the info though.

Right motor mount can be modified like this and left only needs a few washers to fit.
