I’m thinking about doing the same thing since that radiator and fan are designed for this engine. My L83 from a Silverado is the first year (2014) so I can’t say that your cooling system is the exact same as mine but, the dimensions are bigger than you estimated. Here are pics of the radiator , trans cooler and fans. Considerably wider than my 72’ for sure.... 39.5 wide and 17.5 tall. Plus, I really don’t want to drop another GRAND just on a cooling system (Entropy). I know they are “works of art” and real purdy but I can’t see it while I’m driving!
