Engine mounts are the least of your worries. The 350 isn't going to bolt up to your v-6 trans. The v-6 has a smaller bolt pattern than the v-8.

Thats right, plus the PCM, Front suspension wont be strong enough to hold for long, Rear end is too weak, brakes are to small for the added weight, it'll be cheaper to sell what you have and buy one with the V8 in it...

the rear end and brakes are the same for them all. 2.8 clear up to the 5.7 unless you get disc brakes. but yea the tranny will not bolt up and you will need to get a stronger set of springs and struts

I saw the PCM mentioned but don't forget if you want fuel injection you will need a wiring harness. You better of selling your car and finding a V8
