The RPO K02 fan has a slightly smaller diameter than the 5 blade. That said, it MUST be centered in the shroud and just barely inside it.
I would try to get a diameter on a factory shroud and compare to this repop.
I would make sure the top plate is on tight and sealed, and make sure the radiator is sealed on the sides to the core support.
I didnt really see it in pics, you do have the top plate?
Even with AL heads, I would run a 160 T stat if you have AC and run alcohol in the fuel.
IF, you are one of the OLD OIL, OLD School folks that feel the need for their "Oil to Boil"
You could try a 170 T stat. I think Stant makes these.
