Welcome to the site. You need to change the perches. The perches relocate engine mounts for I6 engines. A 292 mounts the same as a V8 but a 250 does not. Find some perches from a V8 truck.

Check with www.lmctruck.com. They have a nice catalogue. It also lists parts by I6 and V8 engines. If you live in a warm to hot climate, install a V8 radiator too.
