Swapping a V-6 for a V-8... Help?

I am going to swap a 350 V-8 into a '65 1/2 ton 4x4.
It has the factory V-6 in it now.
I plan to keep the stock Manual Trans.
Assuming I will need change:
* Bellhousing (and possibly a trans x-member)
* Radiator (I may need a larger one or correct one for a V-8 350 ??? )
Here are my questions?
Will the V-8 mount onto the frame mount brackets if I change to the V-8 rubber motor mounts from a 67-68 chevy truck style rubber mount? Also, What else will I have to change?

I have numerous doner parts from various 67-72 parts trucks, but this is my first 4x4 effort.

Any and all help is appreciated...

Thanks...
Bryan
