I want to get this done while I am painting the frame. Thanks.
you can use a turbo 350 cross member but the manual one wont work. i had a 350/350 in my 70 c10 and installed a 700r4 and the stock cross member worked fine, it just needed to be moved and i had to drill some new mounting holes in the frame.

not sure if you can use the 6 cyl motor mounts on the v8 install. good luck on your project!
