I've got a 55 2nd series 265 c.i., put a fan shroud on.Would like to move the fan a little closer to the radiator. My question is most of the fan spacers I see say, for flex fan, I want to use the orignal fan,does someone have a spacer for this? Thank you.

Same thing. There are 2 different bolt patterns. Most universal spacers are made for any pattern.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.

Ted, the fan should be centered [front/back] in the opening [56 panel w/ 350, 1" spacer] and the usual shrouds will come real close ... if you need a bit of adjustment to get that positioning, the alloy spacers [up to about 2.5" I think] will do fine with the original fan .... OTOH, the 55-57's had a factory arrangement that moved the rad back to the correct close space and you might be able to work that out from pics in the assembly manual
