I think I bought the wrong fan shroud?

So I purchased this fan shroud through Instagram from a guy who builds some really nice 60-66 trucks out in Arizona. He said it was a metal shroud for a v8 radiator and said that it would fit my 63.

I figured that a metal one would be nicer than the fiberglass ones sold by all the parts places, and his shipped price was something that I was willing to pay.

Now that it is here, I think I messed up. The shroud measures around 24" wide, the barrel is about 20 and a quarter diameter, and the height is about the same as the diameter.

I'm thinking that I could make it fit once I get everything put back together right, but I don't want to have to do any major modifications to the shroud or my side baffles to make it fit. If I have to, I'll just buy the repop fiberglass shroud that should fit with my v8 radiator in the v8 location with my 283 (short water pump).

Thanks in advance for y'alls knowledge!
