What is your reason for needing one?

I just finished my under hood winter projects, the fan shroud was one of them. I like it for the separation from the fan when I'm under the hood when its running. And I added AC to the car using 134A, I thought it would help cool on a hot day, slow traffic, parade. I don't know of anyone making them for our cars,my brother saved me several from cars going to the crusher. I found one pretty close to the radiator size, I cut it about six or eight inches from the bottom tray. The two piece design makes it easier to remove in case you need to get in there. I'll snap a picture of it tomorrow, looks good in there. If you have access to a ford explorer, measure the radiator and shroud, I think it was more vertical like the 57 rad. Mark

Update, I got the car on the road this weekend mid 70's for the last 5-6 days, car ran 165-170. Even when I tried the ac.

Hi Lou,
The reason for the fan shroud is that it heats in stop and go traffic
Thanks

As long as it doesn't overheat I wouldn't worry about it. I used to tow with my stock 55 Crown Vic, had a 16 lb presure cap on it and took the therostat out of it and never had it overheat. I did run a heavy duty trans cooler on it.
