there is a difference between a V6 and V8 shroud. the V6 shroud is about 6 feet longer than the 8 shroud, lol. so its not your imagination. you will need a V8 Bird or Camaro shroud, 82-85 for the clutch fan. you may be able to mod another shroud to fit but i doubt it...try lookin on Ebay for one...
