bill, you seem to be right, in the comparison of mine and your pics, my engine does seem to be more forward. strange, since mine has the factory type motor mounts.
i really think mine is ok without the shroud, and really just wanted it to keep my fingers from getting caught in the fan, but never got caught in a real traffic jam. this weekend it was 96 degrees saturday, and my truck didnt over heat, although i was at normal red lights, waithin only like 4 minutes tops.
thnaks bill for you very detailed info and help.
i love this site.
