Engine mount questions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 68 GMC with no engine. It previously had a V8 but I want to put a straight 6 in it. According to my tape measure the engine mount brackets that are in it look like they're in the correct location for a 250. Is it correct that a 250 I6 will mount to the same brackets as a V8? If I choose to use a 292, do I drill new holes in the frame on the passenger side to move that bracket forward 4" or does it require a different bracket? Haven't done this before so I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks.
