Core support, radiator, fan shroud assembly help please

[84GMC15tepside]

Hey everyone, I am putting this assembly together and have a couple of questions... I have a quad headlight core support out of a 6.2 suburban, a blazer v8 fan shroud, and a single row 6cyl radiator. The radiator is new from napa and I am planning on using it temporarily (I got it as a replacement for my original inline 6 radiator, but did a v8 swap before using it).

I have the mounting brackets from the original 6cyl radiator when it was mounted to the original core support. Pic:


From what I have read on the forum, you can't mix mounting brackets and fan shrouds from 6 and 8cyl trucks. Is this true?

That would mean an inline fan shroud OR a v8 radiator would need to be purchased... I would opt for the v8 radiator with v8 mounting brackets of course.


I placed my core support on the truck with the v8 fan shroud in its proper location. It looked PERFECT with half the fan in and half the fan out of the shroud... would a v8 radiator push the shroud more towards the engine?
