I'm looking for a fan shroud for my '77 280. Will a shroud from any year 280Z fit?

Thanks,

Bob

Hello, Bob,

My car didn't have a shroud when I bought it, but I installed a radiator from an automatic ZX (I don't know which year) and used a plastic fan with it's own clutch (again, I don't know which year), and a fan shroud I happened to pick up in a bulk buy.

I guess long answer short...as long as the shroud mounts line up with the radiator holes, you are good to go.

[edit] is there something wrong with the timestamp? My watch reads 12:59PM...???

The fan shroud (it's a 2 piece unit) will fit a 280Z from 74.5 to 78.

I have a 76 parts car in my driveway with one still attached. PM me if you don't find one local...

I thought any 280Z shroud would work, but I bought one a couple years ago from another member and tried to install it on the new MSA 3 row radiator I bought last year. No go--the shroud was wider than the radiator.

Here are a couple of pics of the shroud I restored for my '71. After I received the 4-row rad, I realized it would not fit. I bought another one but it did not have the bottom piece with it. I still think I need one for summer traffic.

WOW! Mine aren't that shiney, but I do have that style.

How did you make that thing look so wet?

A buddy of mine is a auto painter. Whenever he is doing a clear coat, I always take a few things in for a couple of coats. He did my fuel tank, my lower engine shield and my brake booster. Makes them look like new!

ZSaint's shroud has the same bolt hole spacing as my radiator, so we got a match. Still wondering why the 2 piece shroud I bought a few years ago wouldn't fit--the hole spacing was about 3" longer in each direction than my radiator. Could this shroud be for a 260Z?
