65-70 Fan Shroud

cdnpont · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

I have a spare 69' B body shroud.
For a SB, 24" wide.
5 " deep with a 19" fan opening.

Are there sides to it, that it would fit 27 inches?

I found out when I had my '69 there are Two different ones.

Thanks. I will look for a wider one..

cdnpont · Canadian Poncho Superstar!

Both of mine are different, but they do share the 24" width. and the the 24" is right out to the edge.
Go electric carl.

Does anyone have, a B-body shroud for sale? Does anyone have, a picture of one?.. I bought a repo fibreglass model (very nice) but it is for a 25 inch rad and mine is a 27.5 I installed a Aluminum rad, and it has a nice bracket, to hold a shroud..Maybe a Beaumont shroud?

The 65-70 B-body shrouds vary from year to year. What year are you looking for? I have one for a 68 small block, and the 69-70 are generally the same. Come to think of it, I don't think the 65-67 B-body's used a shroud, but I could be wrong.

As Mark indicates, even in 69 there were a couple different ones available. Small Block vs Big Block, Auto vs Standard trans, Heavy Duty Cooling, etc.

Ideally the fan is inside the shroud a half inch or so.

If you could provide add'n info it'd steer us in the right direction.

You are correct! 65-66 some had, and some didn't My car did not have shroud.. It had a tiny piece of metal, that became limp after 40 years, it sort of guided your hand to the fan blades .lol. My car never has had a heating problem, but I thought it did, after I installed ELECTRIC guage... It read 205-210 and I got a heat reading thingie and it showed it running 185-190 I added new aluminum rad and thought shroud would look cool!! I have a flex fan on it, and would like something for a little finger protection My Ventura II was changed over from 6 to 8 and has a origonal 6 cyl plastic part that curves over rad top for protection Maybe I don't need a shroud... confuse
