Default F-Body Electric Fans and Shroud?

A buddy of mine has the fan and shroud out of an F-Body 350, 1996, I think. I know that some guys have used these in their C-3s, which year models did you guys use? It is 150 miles away and I'd hate to make the trip just to find out it won't fit on my radiator support or clear the lower A-arms.

I know 71Roadster (Chris) is putting one in as I type so if he doesn't pipe up, you could always email him at stopher@pacbell.net.

I just tried this recently. I know several have been successful, but could not get the fan/shroud combination to clear the upper a-arm. Not sure why they could and I could not. I went with a single 16" fan which fits great and no problem cooling the car yet.

Regards,

Jim

I will probably be test fitting mine today or tomorrow. It fit the radiator like it was made for it, with just a minimal of trimming. May take a bit more trimming to squeeze into the car, but I have seen it done on the forum so I am confident it will work.
