Re: engine driven fan

Yes but it usually sits a bit low low on the radiator rather than being centered in most cases.

Re: engine driven fan

On the 366 cu in Chevy/GMC big block truck engines they had a high rise water pump to center the fan on the medium duty trucks like the 90's Top Kick trucks.

That said, check to see if there is a small block version available that would work for you.

maybe i could build a cuctom offset shroud. even though it was offset it should still pull air through the rad. what do you guys think

That was my other suggestion (but I kept it to myself)
