need a fan shroud for a new rad...

mtandrews · Jul 29, 2010

I ordered this online last night... http://www.shepherdautoparts.com/all_aluminum_radiator/plymouth/duster/1973/5dot4l_v8_340.html
and I'm gonna need a shroud. I'm putting this in my 72 duster that I'm guessing had a 22 in it due to the measurement of the space where a rad is supposed to be. No rad came with the car when I bought it. Recon I'll give it a little "nip and tuck" so the 26 will fit. I want to go electric if I can. That Mercedes fan is waaay out of my price range (they proud of that SOB!), I like the HHR but don't know if it will cover the core. Will go clutch if I absolutely have to but I wanna try electric first...

wow $144 for a radiator! Let me know how it works/quality. I am thinking about getting an aftermarket 22" but haven't seen under $300.

Curious how well this rad works too...

Seabee - Champion radiators are looking better and better to me each day for the Scamp...3 row, no epoxy, all welded 22" for $220! Check the link...there are more models available.

These look good to....go for a 2 row with 1" tubes for more surface area

Bremereric-I saw in other threads you mention the HHR Fan. Does that fan act as both a shroud and electric fan? If so that is a deal for $50.

yup, it does and he did a most excellent write up on it if I must say so myself.

These are inexpensive enough; anxious to hear your feedback on it after you receive it.

This thread also talks about the Shepard radiator. Apparently these guys are happy with them.
