You'll probably have to experiment with the spacers and shims to get the front end sitting on the car right, and to get the gaps right at the doors.  At least thats what I had to do.  Good luck

look at the great service bulletins that Canadian Ranchero has been posting (and not getting a whole lot of reads???). There is one there on aligning the radiator core support.

opps...couldn't find it in the new tech section..must have been on an old post. I have a copy of it somewhere...I do remember reading there always has to be 3 spacers, and what combination above and below the mount determines your alignment height.
I can do this, I can do this, I, well, maybe

Look at page 6 about 3/4 of the way down.  Subject listed as more service bulletin info.  It has the diagrams and info about core support mounting.  One of the service bulletins from Canadian Ranchero.
