Except they probably wont cool an iron headed 350 Th400 with a 3 row radiator.

Ive just trimmed about 7mm off the top point of the flex fan. I made a template out of an icream container lid and marked them all evenly. Im now draining my radiator into a bucket to save the antifreeze so I can remove the radiator. Im going to slot |
If its not broke it will be soon |

The Commodore fan won't work with the HQ-HZ shroud. Not even with a 308. A HQ-HZ with the rounded blades might with the radiator lifted.

Using a shroud without using the appropriate viscous fan.

Problem is C10's have a huge radiator, but the HQ style one is pretty limited, even as a 5 row. The best bet in one of these is to convert to WB and run a WB 4-row with factory shroud.

I drilled some new holes in my fan shroud and moved it up. Its not hitting , but is slightly off centre.
I have yet to close the bonnet. I just remembered :) Hope it will do for the mean time. I wont know till I run the car and see how hot it gets.

Hi i to have had engine fan problems and the best answer is to fit a electric thermo fan for the time you spend trying to modifyfans and shroulds in a couple of hours you can fit a far better fan plus you will get a small hp gain and it makes your engine
