bolt the plates to the block, bolt the motor mount cups to the motor mounts, lower the engine into place, mark where to mount, weld the mounts to the plates, remove the engine, adapters and mounts, drill clearance holes through the mounts so you can mount the adapters to the block and then have the mounts welded to the plates. The plates should be spot welded in place when the engine is in the frame and then removed to complete the weld process.

To the OP: If you are asking how to get to the "350 rwhp", I would suggest a slightly more agressive cam than what was posted in the thread I showed you. I'm sure Nelson Performance can spec you one out to get to your power goals (or many people on here as well). The thing I was trying to point out is getting to 350whp out of a 5.3L is not too difficult. CAI/LTs/Cam (the right cam)/valve springs/push rods (if needed to adjust for proper valve train geometry) and you can get there without too much hassle.
