As long as it's cut, that works. If you can find a 59 to 61 small block shroud, cut that down and roll the edge, you will have a good lookin copy. Carry on sir.

I will keep that in mind at the next swap meet ! Thanks !
The 348/409 shrouds are an inch and a half shorter than the 283 shroud. The important part is to get the fan blade partially into the shroud. The hot air needs to spill off the blade tips for proper cooling.

That sounds great! Not too rich to hurt power and not too lean to hurt pistons.

What started as a simple gear change turned into much more. Custom valved Pro shocks from Linders Speed Equipment, adjustable chrome molly panhard bar that I built ( the money the aftermarket wants is NUTS )
