Re: Radiator Shroud
The v6 and I6 motor stands sit in the rear mount holes, while the v8 stands sit in the front set of holes. My small block is in the 6 cyl mount location. This is because when I swapped out the 351 V6 I didn't want to move the transmission, lengthen the driveshaft, etc. I suspect that the others prob swapped out I6's since they are more common. To solve my fan distance issue I am in the process of mounting up a 16" e fan/shroud combo out of summit with a thermostat.

Re: Radiator Shroud
ok, I used shorted brackets which brought it back a bit. The brackets hold it very securely, however when I put 3/8" of sponge-rubber weatherstrip around the outside edge, I thought I was going to need a huge press to get it in! Finally with a bit of clamping I got it to set perfectly. It would be a struggle to get it out... so hopefully this will keep temps correct. Shouldn't be to bad if I need to go back to the original, best of all - NO HOLES IN MY SHROUD!!
I fired it up she's definitely a sucker! Hard to tell how loud it will be in the truck, a little loud now but it's very quiet around here. Any idea what the cfm rating on this fan is?
