So if I'm reading everything correctly is the big block shroud thinner and possibly have a bigger opening for the fan? Hope that makes sense lol thanks for any advice in advance.
What water pump are you running? Short, long or from the Vortec engine? Serpentine or V belts? Is the fan from the Vortec engine? If from the Vortec and serpentine, is the fan the right rotation?
