V8 engine mount help

I have a 68 with a 327 v8 and a factory 3 speed on the column that I have owned and drove for the last 30 years. I have pulled the sbc to install a 700r4 transmission and a few other upgrades. I am looking for some help with the engine mounts that bolt to the frame, they are in the “back” holes, I believe it originally had a 6 cylinder.
Can I use the current engine stands and move them to the front holes with the same engine? I moved them ahead after I pulled the engine but have not reinstalled the engine yet. Would they be the same? The only thing I can see I need to do is to drill a new hole for the bottom bolt on each side of the front frame cross member.
Thanks for any help.
