Radiator fan shrouds
I'm close to completing my engine swap, but I haven't yet decided what fan shroud and fan to go with.
I converted it to a dual speed single electric fan a few years back using the stock fan shroud, but I don't have the room for that setup. I'm running short of time to mess with making my own, so I was looking for something that I can either use my current fan or something that comes with fans. Wiring and relays aren't an issue. I'm using the stock radiator and would like to use the stock mounts. I do not like the push-through plastic bolts that come with some aftermarket fans and coolers. Has anyone used this: eBay Does anyone have any other recommendations? Thanks

Re: Radiator fan shrouds
I'm currently contemplating the same thing. Looking at the Old Air ( black materal like plastic: includes all the kit necessary for wiring it up too ) offering for our truck and the Champion Cooling one ( stainless ).
this one you show on E-bay isn't one I'd considered, but the price is sure interesting as the two above are like 360+ and 200+ respectively. I've just started doing the research though and came across this post so I thought I share my thoughts. -klb

I ended up going with a slightly different version of the one I posted before. It's supposedly made by champion cooling (can't attest to that), but it came with two 14" fans. Fitment was a bit off (about 1/4" too short to reach my factory holes), but it looks like it will work with my original brass radiator, and probably with the new plastic/aluminum replacements. I can post pictures if anyone is interested.

Re: Radiator fan shrouds
I've been looking around at fan and shroud information and looked up that Jeep efan that was originally around $50 or so through moparparts.com and find it's now $171 + with a list price of around $250. WOW. They've gotten expensive. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=254617
I'm done with efans anyway so back to stock with clutched fan. As far as aftermarket small block fan shrouds go who has the better ones? One place has them for about $60 and another one has them for about $120 and up. I'm not interested in show truck restoration quality but a sturdy part that fits. I'm not paying for 50 year old NOS or original shrouds. So who bought from where and how was it?

Re: Radiator fan shrouds
Old Air Products makes a sweet dual fan and shroud setup for our trucks. It bolts in using the stock mounts and does a great job cooling my 454 swap. I highly recommend it.

Re: Radiator fan shrouds
I bought mine from ledfoot racing. It had to be modified at the bottom simce the height didn’t match my radiator. But it mounts to the factory radiator without going through the fins. I haven’t run it yet but it looks good.
