I think you can use the bb mounts by bolting them to your existing cross member. This should raise the engine slightly, increase your drive angle and make a little more room for your exhaust manifolds or headers if you should decide to use them.
If you are going into a K5 with your big block or if you don't have enough clearance I would suggest moving the cross member forward rather than beating up the firewall to make room. It's not very pretty after taking a sludge hammer to your firewall.
