This is not to say a fibreglas/plastic fan shroud from an SBC set up wouldn't fit in that spot.
As far as the clutch fan idea, it might work out OK. I've been using a FlexFan on my 292 since 1977 and have not had a problem yet. [And I live in Ariz.]
I have a 69 C-10 that I bought in CA with the 250/ 3 speed auto. It has a fan shroud and a 3 core radiator, looks original to me, no heating problems. I removed the smog control and installed PS. I'm currently rebuilding a 292 for it and I need thermostat housing for it. I need one where the top rad hose points towards the drivers fender, not straight up. Would you by any chance have one? Thanks, Donn
