The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 57 fan shroud installation questions

So I have a question....
I bought this item since it specifically said for V8 only.
It did not say for V8 conversions.
But anyways if you look at my truck pics here:

you will see it is an orignal V8 truck as in it came with a V8. The engine currently in it is different than the original but it is close. The very last picture on the page shows the new shroud sitting on top of the top of the radiator and the rearmost (leftmost) part of the shroud seems to line up with my belts. I think I could trim some off to get it to fit but it may be too close to the engine.

If I trim more off the hole will get bigger and may/will reduce the effect of having the shroud as air will easily pass around the ends of the blades and the hole opening of the shroud.

So am I just screwed?

I guess I could have a different one fabricated or something.

I can move the fan a bit closer to the radiator and see if that helps.

comments?

Thanks in advance. I just want to get it to stop overheating when I am idling in traffic for 5 or 10 minutes. The rest of the time it is fine.
