Dont think i would be able to get rid of the gap any better, but am concerned about
the foam degrading and wrapping around my fan and catching on fire.
Any other heavier duty gaskets like that out there?

I also need to move the shroud up 1 inch and was going to use a piece of aluminum
And drill holes in shroud and bar stock only.


If i trimmed the shroud like paul suggested (thanks paul)and removed the spacers i would still have a 3/ 8 gap between shroud and radiator, would that be to much gap and could there be something else out there to fill it.

The small gap where i cut gasket to fit, has only a 1/4 gap, so i could only use gasket on top
of shroud and leave gap there. Or reduce spacer size to reduce gap in thar area too less than a 1/4,

My radiator hose is in the middle of the raditor, unlike the 63-66 raditors parts i see in magazines, After returning a raditor to classic parts i was told i have a pre april 63 and have a 62 radiator,, , Maybe by looking at serial numbers from the 63 serial # thread i could tell if the pre april thing was true. Or i just have a bag of parts truck.


Thanks everybody for all the suggestions, i gonna get it now,,,,

If you look at cars in that era, you will see that the gap between the shroud and the radiator is more than 1/4", so I wouldn't worry too much, personally. If you don't have or don't plan on having AC, and have a SBC, you are pretty much assured that you won't have a heating problem.
