Cut the shroud. Use a mini torch to weaken the plastic and razor to trimJust hit a snag...
The old fan is 32" in Diameter.
The new fan is 34.25" in Diameter.
I have fan shroud clearance issues.
The new fan is BALANCED, old fan is not.
1- Cut shroud?
2- Use old fan?
3-Knarfle the Garthark
I just looked at it again.Cut the shroud. Use a mini torch to weaken the plastic and razor to trim
Or die grinder with buff wheel
Old fan moves plenty airI just looked at it again.
If I cut shroud, if radiator centers perfect, I "might" have 3/16" clearance
from tips of blades to shroud...
New fan protrudes well past DS and PS radiator limits by over 3" !
If I use old fan I am done.

Only A0 m916s came with a cummins engine. All newer variants have detroit diesels.Yea,,, The only other option that is probably too much of a PITA
is; I bet the A1-A2's that came w/ BC3's , I bet they have a bigger
shroud...
I am prob gonna just use the old and move on...
WIsh I could quit adding to my punch list but at leastYou're a good story teller, with lots of photos. I'm almost as excited as you are, for the first start-up!
I used Permatex UltraBlack on the Bellhousing to block bolts...I had a hard time getting the CAT to not leak back thru the bellhousing since the big cam iii oil pan did not bolt the same way to the bellhousing that the Big cam Iii did. About 6 or 8 bolt differences between pans
