Fan shroud

Pat Mercadante · May 11, 2021

Hi again. I am going to install a fan shroud on my 69 roadrunner with a 383. It didn't have one when it was new. I have the mounting brackets for it but I don't know how they're attached to the radiator. I bought a new 22 inch radiator. Anyone know how to do this

Place the radiator front side facing down on a workbench. Place shroud on top of it. Locate mounting holes on shroud and drill through flange on radiator. 4 bolts should do the trick. 2 each side. 26" radiators had 5 mounting studs on factory radiator. But 4 will be just fine.

Then hang shroud on fan, slide radiator down and attach to core support. Then move shroud to radiator and attach.

@Mark Barnes , is there something I'm missing about installing the radiator and shroud? I've done it about 8 times in last 6 months w my '67 w 26" radiator. Please enlighten me.

Sorry! Was reading this thread (on my tablet) in bed and fell asleep and somehow hit the red x.
Your info is dead on. My bad.

22" rad on my '64 Dodge has slots on side straps that brackets slide into and then bolt on. The 2-piece metal shroud then bolts to these brackets. Not all 22" rad side brackets have these slots. Somebody now reproduces these side brackets. I believe Classic Industries sells them. Not sure if shroud and 22" rad for '69 Runner is the same design.
