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.
The shroud was on the car when I bought it in 1995 so don't think it's a reproduction. It does have the lower and bottom plates but they were removed in picture cause I was working on the condenser.
