I have a 1967 Chrysler 300 'Vert that does not have a fan shroud on it. I would like to install one, but the problem is that the fan itself is only 1/4" away from the upper radiator hose. I do not see how a shroud will fit in between, especially a stock plastic type.
Here is the back story. Along the way the original 440 was replaced with a 383 of the same vintage. I have now replaced the motor and gone back to a 440. Non AC car running what I am assuming is the stock fan w/ fan clutch. It does not overheat, even if left idling for long periods of time (parade type use). I would just like a shroud more for safety than anything.
Been reading about different size fans and the like. Will I need to install a smaller fan to clear the shroud? Does anyone know what size would have been stock? Measuring across the fan blades it is roughly 22". Did the car originally have a shroud on it?
