v-6 tbi out v-8 tpi in

If im in the wrong placeplease forgive me or could someone direct me to a more appropriate site?I have no idea of where else to go.I recently took the 305 TPI out of my iroc and replaced it with a new modded 350 TPI.The old 305 runs great and probably only has around 50,000 to 60,000 miles since rebuild.(looks great inside)I have a 1989 k1500 fullsize chevy 4x4 truck i drive for work.The problem is it has a 4.3 v-6 and is grossly under powered for a full size truck.I want to replace the v-6 with the 305 if i stay tpi i will have to get a bunch of stuff im sure.Im also thinking of going with a carb.Does anyone know if the moter mounts have to be moved?any help would be greatly appreceiated.If im in the wrong place please forgive me and if possible direct me to a site that might be of some use?

Here is the forum you are looking for.

As a start, you will need V8 motor mounts.
