Wait! Your friend is running the Proform on a Vortec? Everything I read says it doesn't fit! The Summit guy wouldn't sell me one, says it's too different.
Your saying it does fit?
It WILL physically bolt up, you NEED to address the coolant bypass, you need to address the coolant bypass on anything with a thermostat and an electric pump whether it be bone stock TBI, bone stock Vortec or Vortec headed swap pre Vortec block ...

yea ill get the part number and post it up later. i live in California and went to the Pomona swap meet to get mine. the only modification i saw on his truck was one of the hoses clamped shut. ill take a pic as well. i havent installd mine because i need a new belt.
You need a belt about 72 inches long ... atleast I did.
I had a spare belt laying around, I cut it, approximated the length, drove to the parts store and got one with the right number of ribs in the length I needed. They let me try it on my truck before I bought it.
The only mod he had n his truck with the electric pump was a clamped off hose?? I'm finding that hard to believe ...
