core support body mount relocation for an 86-73 front end swap?

Hey guys I have an 86 2wd swb I have finally collected enough original parts to do my front end swap. My questions are... do I need to relocate the front body mounts for the core support on my 86 frame to accommodate my early 70's core support. And if so which direction and how much? Also I have a 76 front bumper and took about 5 inches of the front frame too. Does anyone know the exact amount of those frame horns ill need to weld on to my frame? Thanks guys!

I am curently doing this and the body mounts have to go forward bout 1/2 inch or so. I have not yet moved them due to the2 rivetsin the spring hanger for the front axle but when I put my lift springs in every thing will get set in place.
