52 F1 radiator support mounting holes?

Which holes does the support mount, front set or rear set on crossmember? Does it depend on motor? Thanks for any help If it matters , I`m installing a 4.3 liter V6 with electric fans on the radiator.


Thanks,
Oscar

Rear holes are for a flathead V8 . Front holes rate for a 6 cyl. You most likely will use the rear holes w/ your engine . Make sure you use the V8 hood air deflector .

If you change hole location, won`t that mess up inner fender alignment to holes?

No it will not . Look at your inner fenders . They have 2 sets of holes . Or at least they should !!
