Fan shroud for 454

[GideonBowles]

So I have my car almost finished engine and ready to drive but I do not have a fan shroud, I had a really crappy one I made myself, but that’s not gonna work and I do not have the money to buy a stock one. Does anybody have any suggestions? I’m considering buying a All-Star fan shroud and then buying myself a 16 inch fan that will fit in it, but I’m open to using a different car as long as it’s not expensive or anything. Thank you very much.

Just get you a 55 gallon drum and cut it in half.

Problem solved.

Someone posted these pictures years ago and I took them because I thought it was great information to have and to share.

Buy a chevelle big block shroud and I have “ ok” small block shrouds you can use the tunnel off of. Probably cheaper and better in the long run n

Yeah, that would be the best way to go.

For the price of that All Star fan shroud (which I don't think will work) ,best place to get a shroud is The Parts Place($139.00 ?) Then as Dennis suggested, use his tunnel (or your old tunnel). I can send you new staples (have some left over from my build). It's a long way from the radiator to fill up that gap. If you have your original blade  fan, The parts place has a new clutch for it also. This is one area you don't want to skimp out on. You can do a lot of damage to a new motor without the right cooling(air flow). I'd also suggest an add-on trans cooler. You can run it through the radiator 1st ,then to the added one and your transmission will thank you for it!
