I have a very nice 3 core rad I would like too use for my build that has a bbc with a lwp setup thats mounted in the forward(v8) holes in the frame with all the correct mounts. I dont have any shrouds here that will fit so my real question is .....

1.will a bbc fan shroud fit on a 3 core rad? my rad is 27" at the mount saddles(measured on the outside of where the hold downs sit)

2. if they dont fit a 3 core and i got the correct 4 core rad and shroud set up will i still have clearance issues because of my lwp set up?

3. are the bbc clutch fans 18" like the sb fans? (I have a crap load of 19" clutch fans and would love to be able too use one)

has anybody used a lwp setup with the factory shroud and fan?
