Re: v8 swap q's
From what I've read previously, the passenger side tower will need to be replaced. It seems the V8 and 230/250 towers are the same, but the 292 bracket is mounted either farther forward or to the rear on the frame and only fits the 292.

Re: v8 swap q's
Just a FYI, The '63-'66 230/250 and small block motor mount brackets are the same as the '67-'72 230/250 brackets.
