65 396 fan configuration

[Jaime G.]

The 65JM describes the fan for BB 396 as having flat rivets. The AIM does not specify. I have repeatedly been told that for 65 only the BB fan configuration has round rivets. Can you guide me to the correct fan configuration.
thanks

Hi Jaime
There was some discussion about the fan blades and with pictures. Basically its flat rivots. H and 66 and Front stamped on the hub of the fan.
Thanks, Grant

In this thread you will see my pictures of the original fan from 1965 Corvette #22161. The pictures show the rivet style very clearly.

Grant - I believe the fan blade assembly with the H and the 66 is for the 1966-1967 Big Block. The 1965 396 fan blade assembly was different. Pete
