Hello Phil,
I installed the old 216 fan initially on the water pump to check for clearance issues. Have a few more fans here of the same diameter if I need extra blades for cooling.
The C8 had no radiator when I received it, so started searching. Almost fell over when I priced a new radiator for a '40 Chev truck. Even if I did buy a new one, a long filler neck would still have to be installed in it to suit the 11 cab. Haven't been able to located a correct filler neck anywhere.
Have found a very good radiator here of the same vintage that fits nicely with no fan clearance issues with the lower radiator hose. Won't need a long filler neck with this one either. Will retrofit it to the C8 radiator support this weekend.
Thanks, David
