Guys I'm working on the "Hemi55" that's no longer going to have a Hemi but a 440 in it. I'm repositioning the engine further forward to build new engine mounts so I put the radiator support in place and tilted it back 4 degrees. I'm trying to get the engine as far forward as possible in front per the customer's request.

The stock radiator support has a flange on the front of it (V8 version) and I was wondering if that needed to be removed or if the radiator is supposed to sit in front of it. I have the Spal fan shroud set flush with the front of the flange but I'm not sure that's where it's supposed to be, or if the flange needs to be removed to install the radiator, like say a PRC or similar.

Can anyone help?
