Radiator and cooling options

Hi Guys,

Wanted to check and see if I could get some suggestions on radiator and fan options. My Barracuda had an aftermarket radiator and cooling fan that just isn't cutting it. The main issue, I believe is that there is no shroud, so it isn't making full use of the radiator.

The car is a '67 Barracuda with a 400, 4spd manual trans. The radiator that was installed is 24" wide cross-flow radiator with a 19" core and a 15 fan centered on the core. My issue is that there is absolutely no space to move the fan back and put a shroud in, as the fan motor would hit the water pump pulley.

I talked to a contact at Cold Case radiators (member here) after seeing a lot of referrals to them. He said he agreed that a shroud would help, but the lack of room would be an issue. He also said the problem would be that dual 12" fans wouldn't work, and he didn't think dual 10" fans would move enough air.

Wondering what others on here have done to fit a good fan and shroud with a big block in one of these A-bodies. I'm open to buying a different radiator that is thinner to allow more room. I am also open to going back to a mechanical fan and shroud, but I have not seen a short enough fan clutch to work with my radiator, so would I have to go to the right length spacer and a flex fan (no fan clutch)?

Temps stay reasonably ok going down the road (somewhat!), but temps climb quickly if I have to stop, or get caught in slower traffic. It just isn't useable in temps higher than 80-85 degrees.

I will attach some pictures for you to see what I have going on:

Thanks!
