It was to hard to see the gap between the fan and the pulley system, so I placed a white sheet of paper underneath for better results.

I didn’t use any of the thermostat stuff. I went with a Derale 16759 adjustable fan controller with manual over ride.

Thanks for the info. I was looking at this it measures 3.5 thick and I have contacted them and was told that I could safely trim 3/8 off the shroud I have a alum radiator coming from Dewitt and will have a better idea how much after it arrives.

Making some more progress. Got the offset dowel pins in and the got the final runout ran and all set for the tremec. Then got the new clutch installed.
Also this past week got all the stuff being moved over from the 350 to the 327. Just a little more cleanup in the engine bay and this motor will be ready to drop back in to the truck.

Installed the TC boot ring retainer that I bought from board member A1971Blazer. Very nice piece.

Nice. But does he do one with GMC instead of the Bowtie?
Asking for a friend with a Jimmy.

Got the 327 back into the truck today. Now to start getting the tremec fitted and everything back onto the motor. Another week or two and it should be running again.

Today I finally fixed that broken button in the door handle. Happy I finally got that fixed! Also started applying boiled linseed oil to the body, much easier than clear spray paint. Then messed with the EVR because it keeps buzzing and making so much noise. I need to chase down that diode in the brown wire to make sure it’s good. But also, I have HEI distributor and need to make sure I wired it correctly. Pretty sure I did but that was 7 years ago. If I can’t figure that out I’ll have to upgrade my alternator. Why does something always break when you fix something else non related?

Got the plug wires swapped. Pre SBC, I'd have thought this would be a 20-45m job, but routing under the ram's horns and over the starter and scraping off road filth at the same time and pulling one of the heat shields, and.......

Got my old girl Detailed. Just like the wife going to the beauty shop. Back in the garage covered. Waiting for a sunny day with a purpose or the last show of the season.

Sadly, I did have to part ways with this OEM cable management system:
