Edited.
I guess technically the nut on the fan clutch.
The manual says the shroud cover should state if it is reverse threaded and i remember Dave saying his was reverse threaded so I was curious

Ok thanks.
I'll run the factory clutch fan for now due to cost and simplicity.
Switching to Efans later.
Also strapping a couple of 7" fans to pull air through the Heat exchanger. Going to just run them on a cab mounted switch to run during hot days, traffic, etc

There are deals on the 5.0L truck engine that is tempting.
I've never driven the 5.0 so I don't know how they compare to a built 5.4.
Why do you need new heads?
