Ok, lets try to answer a few questions.
Yes, it is shrouded. The fan sets 1" away from the radiator.
A 14" fan is as big as I can put on due to radiator height.
I have changed sending units and the new one isn't paired with my gauge is why I said the thermostat opened at 210. Shoot with temp gun it opens at 175 or so. So I was just calling 210 on my gauge normal.
Run a compression check. all is good. No blown head gasket.
No room for a clutch fan.
I'll try to post pics tonight.
Thanks
