Yes sir. It makes no changes to the parts. The front all bolts together with the Upper and lower grill valance's and hood latch support. The core can move freely and can in the 2 locations as needed. In the stock V8 location they just make a filler piece from the hood latch support to the core support. I found a random pic from the net showing the V8 filler panel on top
In the picture of my truck here you can see I have mine far forward and if you look closely on the driver inner fender well you can see the other hole the core can move back too
