[68 TT]

Turns out the fan shroud that came with the stepside was the wrong width for the radiator that came with the truck but was the right width for the larger one that I had in the 67 C10.

It fits nicely and just clears the crank pulley on the big block by about 1/4". It should pull plenty of air with the 7-blade clutch fan on there.

I need to pick up some long 5/16" fine thread studs to put into the water pump and the matching serrated washer head nuts to hold the clutch fan in place with then it can be installed. The water pump is a short style but has a conversion spacer on it to make it compatible with long water pump pulleys.

I may put a standard long water pump on there to be able to use the better design passenger side alternator brackets on the engine rather than finish fabricating the low mount driver side alternator brackets I was working on for the engine when it was in the Camaro. That way I could save the Edelbrock aluminum water pump and ribbed belt pulleys for the 496 I am building for the Camaro to replace the 396 I just stole out of it too.
