I am getting ready to swap my slant 6 for a 360 Magnum and found out the company that make the spooled motor mounts is no longer in business. Where do I get the motor mounts now. I have a 1975 "K" member.

I think that is the company he is referring too. There has been some postings about Schumaker's business sustainability even before Covid.
I'd put up a wanted add for a V8 K and mounts or see if someone has a set of spool /6 to 360 swap mount.
Schumacher is out of business. I believe Trans-Dapt bought them out.

I thought there was a post about Mancini having some deal coming up.

Except they are out of stock and Schumaker was the only fabricator. Right now you'd have a better chance at getting a LS swap kit.....

The Trans-Adapt engine mounts are for '72 and later K-members. I'm not sure of anybody that makes a for '73 and up.

It appears Classic Industries has them on the website, but they say it's "temporarily out of stock."

I know I'm right....
Lower it into the bay and find out where spool mounts need to be welded in. Model em out of cardboard and tape and have a hitch shop fab up your mock up or a welding buddy. I'd attempt that before spending $170 on 2 motor mounts that may not even fit. I paid 150 for 351C mounts to be welded onto a 57 Fords Y block mount. What I ended up with was 2 metal boxes stick welded to the cross member. Hell, I could have done that!

^^Those are not what he is looking for.^^ He wants "swap" mounts which are special aftermarket mounts that fit the slant six K frame, and adapts to a V8 engine. The K frame has different mounting ears between slant six engins and small block V8
Thank you for being educational instead of confrontational. You show true class.
That would be kick *** as long as they continue on with Michael's products.
Those are the Schumacher mounts. So there's no chance of getting them.
Where'd you see that?

Those are not spool mounts, they are flat biscuit style, 72 and earlier.
I've sent multiple emails to that address with no response. I know they are dealing with his wife's illness, but he runs a business. He should put something out there.
