60-62 I6 to V8 swap questions

Hey guys, later this summer I'll be swapping in a 283 and keep the same manual trans and have questions on motor/trans mount setups.

Can I use a bellhousing from a '68 pickup with threaded holes for mounts and use the stock mounts, with the nokav slave cyl setup?

Or would be better to track down a 60-62 V8 bellhousing? If anyone has one they'd be willing to part with??

As far as motor mounts, can I use the side engine mount setup from a '79 pickup or would it be better to use a front mount setup like this.

I've got all the parts to do either of these setups. I've done some searching and most I find is people switching to automatics or its 63 and up.

Thanks guys!
