I think you're right, but I always either lump them into "engine mounts". If I need to differentiate I call them crossbraces. Everything I know I taught myself so my terminology is often very different from the norm

I was also going to suggest this as what I have on my truck. No idea if this is possible, but do the 350 rubber mounts bolt to the 6 cyl crossbrace?

Motor mounts = rubber/steel cushion that bolts to the block.
Towers/stanchions are what connects the mm's to the frame & x-member.
