Those appear to be V8 towers. I have sets for V8 and 250 I6 and they are different. There are 3 holes on each frame rail. The I6 towers bolt to the rear 2 on the frame rail. The V8 bolt to the front 2 on the frame rail. I got V8 towers for my son's truck thinking his originals were double duty but they wouldn't line up with anything on the crossmember in the rear holes. They only fit correctly in the forward position. I had to either get 6cyl towers or a new driveshaft. Towers were cheaper and the v8 will still bolt up. As for the rubber engine mounts, as far as I know, they are the same for V8 and 6.
