radiator

I found my radiator from my 1987 f250 I used to have while cleaning out the garage. It had a 460 cu engine. I now have an 97 250 with a 5.8l engine. By just looking at the two every thing looks the same except the core size on the 87 is way bigger. Has any body gone down this road before. It looks like the only trouble will be fitting the fan shroud. Thanks for any help. Bill

Im not using my shroud. During the winter i didnt notice not having it. But now that its starting to heat up you start to notice it more. Its not hard to trim them to fit with a sawzall.
