I have a parts truck that had a 5.7 vortec if i take the motor mounts off that could i just buy the adapter plates?

Yep, a lot of work for $30 worth of parts though.

Since you're going from V6-V8 you've got quite a bit of work ahead of you. Doing it twice will be a PITA. You need to remove the V6 steel mounts off the crossmember and bolt new rubber mounts to it. The best way to do it is with the lower a-arms removed, to access the nuts and bolts. You could just grind the heads off but you still have to put the mounts back on and that requires reaching the bolts to hold them still. I'd buy new rubber motor mounts to bolt to the frame, new receiver cup and yes, the adapters are a must. The ones on Ebay are the best value I've seen.

what is the big difference with the v6 to v8 that it is such a PITA? also is there any posts on doing this?

That's in the sticky post for converting an OBS truck to Gen3 engine.
