Thats about the way it should be-about 2" clearance. And a shroud would help. You want the fan near the fins to move the air through the radiator and not pick it up from around the sides.
I assumed as much. Just making sure. I'll just get some studs and nuts for the water pump pulley to make install/removal easier. Recently upgraded my radiator from standard to HD cooling with the shroud mounts on the edge of the radiator frame. Would any shroud for the same radiator fit (like the small block), or will I need one specifically for the slant?
