won't fit mine, but can be used in the six cylinder position with different brackets. I can't use it maybe someone else can--I won't lie

My 56 with stock moter mounts and SWP had the stock fan ate my 4 row Desert Cooler, back to orginal with a 6 blade Speedway fan and a shroud. What fit issues did you have.

Just trying to keep things honest.

No problem--I try to keep things on the up and up.

Radiator was too thick--had no clearance between pullet and radiator--no place to mount 6 blade fan. Maybe that is why I got it so cheap.

Do you have 3/4 foward or LWP. I was stock fan and SWP and had issues.

Short water pump--stock motor mounts--six blade fan---original radiator works fine--has for me for the last 19 years. Desert Cooler had no clearance to run any mechanical fan.

Just talked to my radiator man and my stock radiator has finally bit the dust. So I guess I will get it recored--3 row for 388.00 using my tanks and mounting brackets. so much for my budget. Hope it still fits

How does the EPA shut them down, and why? Lead?

With all the EPA BS restrictions these days, it's amazing ANY chrome shops still exist. I wouldn't be surprized if there's more pressure on them in the next few years, with the greenie in charge.
