fan shrouds

[Captain Obvious]

Thanks Willoughby! I guess I should have thought of looking at the parts manual.

Thanks for checking!

I am an original owner of a '73 Z and my car did not come with a fan shroud nor was it an option to add. I'm looking for one now. If you get a lead on any, let me know. Thanks,

My 73 didn't have a shroud, maybe it was removed. Somehow the freeway is more likely to be a parking lot on really hot days. I put the carbon fiber shroud from MSA. It interfered with the pulley for the ex-smog pump pulley so I modified it with a rasp. Then it was a little weak so I built it up with more carbon fiber so it's nice and solid. Still overheating - turned out to be a small eroded area on the head + bad head gasket. I take some hot weather drives, 99 deg F. at 4:30 AM in Blythe - so I went the whole route: shroud, new head and steel comp gasket, the shroud, oil cooler, flush engine, big aluminum radiator, BRE type air dam, remove plastic air vent intake for more cool air. Up the mountain last month at 85 mph, 105 degrees, temp at 185 the whole way - cool runnings.
