I believe that Schumacher offers these.  They call them Magnum mounts.  http://www.engine-swaps.com/

If these aren't the right kind perhaps Imperial offers them although I wouldn't be surprised if they make them for Schumacher.

I guess that was obvious , Thanks Matt
 I have a customer that had a broken engine mount so the shop changed it & then playing with his car & trying to tune the 6 pack for some unknown reason they managed to rip the new mount apart & bend the fins in the converter so it wil not idle in gear now either

Will this style of mount eliminate the need for a torque strap? I was going to go stock mounts and ad a torque strap but if these will do the trick and have the engine sitting in the exact stock location then maybe these would be better.

yes , this is why I was looking for them , there is a metal over lap inside the molded rubber to limit the m,ovement & stop the mount from tearing apart

I just got off the phone with Schumacher and they have discontinued the Magnum mounts and are also out of of stock. They have a new version coming out sometime soon but didn't have a specific date. Sounds like they are even better than the old version. They will be poly with the interlock built in like the old ones. Hope it isn't too long waiting for these.
