Question 6 cyl vs 8 cyl??

Was there a difference in the size of the radiators and the opening on the 6 and the small block 8 cyl engines??

I can't remember for sure but I think they were the same size unless A/C is on the V8. The only difference would be from an automatic to a manual transmission due to the needed cooler lines for the automatic.

Agree with 6t9, you will have to add a shroud.

A shroud is easily added to it. If you don't put one on it has a higher chance of overheating at prolonged idle. Don't forget to get the upper bracket and lower clips for it if yours are missing.
