Shroud Suggestions

[Tyron68]

I am needing to get a shroud put on in the next few months (68 Charger) and wanted to get some suggestions. I have a Cold case radiator (MOP754A). The radiator has an 1-1/2” x 4” flange top and bottom on each side for mounting too. I have the stock clutch fan (2863216). The car was originally a 318 but has an 440 so the radiator will be just slightly offset from the fan (due to the core support attachment). Any suggestions on a good aftermarket shroud?

Not sure about your Cold Case, but you can get a new shroud at your local Dodge dealership. Still available, got one for my '69 Road Runner, not installed yet. I'm not in the garage, but can get a part number later.

Summit Racing has an aluminum "fab your own kit" that can look pretty decent if you take your time. I assembled mine mostly with aluminum rivets instead of bolts.

Dealership shroud number is P 2785 434, think that it has 5 mounting screws.

Thanks man. I’ll look that up.

I think I saw that today on their website. You essentially cut out your opening size.

I believe this is the one I used. I cut the hole with a 4" x 1/8" cutting wheel and used pieces of the aluminum that were cut out for fabricating additional brackets.

Is there not a way to mount on the sides on this one? I don’t see where there is a side attachment options.

Maybe it's too late, but I'm not sure why you can't use a factory shroud. On one of my cars, I have a Wizard radiator which fits the OE shroud perfectly.

You can make some aluminum tabs from the circle cut out of the middle and rivet/bolt it to the side of the shroud and radiator. I spent an entire day fabbing mine up to make sure it fit well and looked good. I even pondered polishing it, but nahhhh.... It can be as nice as the effort you put into it.
