Re: Fan shrouds

Thanks for your help guys,

I've got a big block and it's located in the rear most holes. The shroud i pulled out was 5 1/4" on top 5 3/4" on bottom and doesn't quite look like anything of the pics yet. This set up was put together by the previous owner many years ago when he did a big block conversion on the truck. When i purchase the truck i dropped my own bbc in but stuck with this accessory and fan shroud arrangement since it worked. I may have to go wander the salvage yard.

Could this shroud maybe from a 73-87 4x4?

70jnktrk your shroud could possibly work, but it makes me wonder why your is 5 3/4" on top and mine narrower on top than the bottom? If the motor leans a few degrees back that would effectively tip the top of the fan back making it sit further from the radiator than the bottom of the fan. Therefore the proper shroud should actually by wider at the top than the bottom? Just the opposite of what i have.

Just pondering over coffee. -steve
