Swamping 250 for 350?

I recently pulled out my I6 250 and I had a 350 rebuilt to put in its place. I am getting ready to drop it in and I am wondering if I have to do anything with the motor mounts? If anyone here has ever done this before I would appreciate any other helpfull hints before I do this job.

There is an I6 position and a V8 position on the motor mounts. Just move it to the V8 position and your set! (only 6 bolts) It is even stamped right on it.

I swapped a 4.3 for a 350 and I had to change the mount towers, the supports that mount to the frame.
