6.1 Hemi in a ‘69 Barracuda

clinteg said

Was ready to order a set of Schumacher mounts through Mancini. For some reason I couldn’t add the mounts to my cart. So I called them up and sure enough, backordered. So I ask how long they’ve been out and he says months with no idea when they’ll get new mounts! Ugh! So I hit up Schumacher and he said that he will be at least 4 more weeks before they could get another lot of them made. Talk about hurry up and wait! I know, ya’ll are gonna say why not TTi? The reason is simply because I like the design of the Schumacher mounts over the TTi. It’s a more of a spool mount design like what is on my Dart with the HDK front end and motor mounts and I really like it. But the TTi mounts with some Poly Locs would probably do the same job. Just gotta mod the rubber mounts to make it fit as I understand.

Did you Try TTi? They sell Schumacher Spool Mounts too.
Biscuit or Spool Mount, either way you need the Oil Block-off and Filter Relocation Kit.




I used the Biscuit Mounts and modified the Passenger side Mount and K-Member so I could keep the Stock Filter Location. No need to cut or modify passenger or driver's Insulator/Polyloc.
I made it with a larger insulator mounting surface like stock A-Body mount.
Nothing wrong with a remote oil filter, I just didn't want one... Easy mod.
QA1 should make a Hemi Swap K and Mounts. They are welcome to copy my mods.
Seems like a much better design and better clearance all around.
May not be enough demand to justify production though...



QA1 K-Member but I don't see why you could not do the same mod to a stock K.
I love how much clearance it made.
Could probably do a similar mod with the spool mounts.

My mock-up before the cutting and welding.
