Mounting a Radiator Shroud

[DeesZ]

I have the stock upper fan protector installed, but it's only to protect fingers. Did they ever add a stock full shroud in the 240's?

My first Z, a 1972, came with a metal shroud. I THINK the earlier ones also had a shroud, but I could be wrong. The shroud and belly pans were often discarded because they were always 'in the way' when working on things, therefore most often these days they are missing on the cars. My current '72 came without either on it when I got it as the third owner. I did find a good OEM metal shroud on eBay for about $25.00. The parts manual shows several part numbers (one superseded by another) with interchangeability up through 07/73 (with no "from" date listed, I assume that the shroud came on all years.)

Very interesting... My (mostly) stock 7-73 came without any fuel line insulation, radiator shroud (except for the small shield on top), or any other heat disapation device put on by dealer, but it did have the belly pan. Now in primer and on the garage wall waiting for paint and instalation.

The stock radiator was gone through, boiled and rodded, at the time of overhaul. I've changed water in it 3 times now and ready for the anti-freeze. It now has 400 miles on it and everything is A-OK. No heating issues yet.
