I'm wondering if there is a shroud that fits the summit radiator we are using in are nova's?

I am going to run a mechanical clutch fan set up on a long water pump I hope...

i didn't think you had cooling issues on your car prior to tear down, do you think a shroud is necessary ?

as far as i know all they show is a universal shroud. i'll search out what i can find while you're at work today and post 'em up for ya. also i'll send you the link for the shroud i have on my '64, maybe we can modify the design to work on your set up.

this one is the only one i saw that fit dimensionally, i'm unsure if the depth of the shroud would fit the fan & clutch depth.

Most plastic shrouds are made by an outside vendor for the car companies. They are sized to fit the radiator which they also buy from another vendor who makes parts for all of the car companies. If you change the radiator core size it will require you to find a new shroud to fit it. Accept for the "Caution Fan" decal on top no one would know your spiffy factory looking custom plastic shroud came off a Lincoln. So you need to note the dimmensions of the radaitor and check out the local junk yards (they can not get scrap metal value for any plastic parts so you are saving them money it would cost them in trash bills to take it; so they should be paying you when it comes time to dicker over it's price).

I didn't have any cooling problems but its just UGLY without a shroud:eek:

After aligning my pulleys I have found that I don't have a nub sticking out for my fan, so I may have to go with a electric fan:sad:
