If you’re asking if the GMC bell housing crossmember will correctly position a Chevy V8 engine, post #2 on the following thread, claims the crossmember is the same for GMC and Chevy but the truck in question is a 1965. In looking at photos it appears the rubber Chevy bell housing mounts themselves are different than the GMC, but “probably” fit the same on the crossmember. This doesn’t definitively confirm the crossmember is in the same location however.

And here’s another thread with somewhat confusing information that might provide something useful:

Hopefully someone than has actually done a GMC V8 swap and retained the original GMC bell housing crossmember will chime in.

OOPS - didn't catch the part about the 350/350.
