I am not sure what the links above go to but i put the flex-a-lite 285/295 (??) on my truck & it all fit pretty much in the stock location & i did not have any fitment issues....

good luck!

This is the fan I used, it works great. The install was a snap, just bolts in to the stock location.

Just be sure that the fan comes with an integral shroud that covers all of the radiator core. I used the older version of the Flex-a-lite Black Magic fan and the included plastic shroud did not cover the entire core and my big block ran hot. The fan was only pulling air in through about 2/3 of the core. After I made a custom sheetmetal shroud to cover the entire core, the engine ran much cooler. Just using that additional 1/3 more of the core made a huge difference. Also, don't mount the fan directly to the core with zip ties; make brackets so that it mounts to the core support. Otherwise, the weight and vibration from the fan could cause the radiator to leak. I had to have custom brackets fabbed to mount mine to the core support.
