RE: [Chevelle-list] Part # look up please?

Tom,           Yeah that's what I have been hearing. I was trying to determine if there was a special A/C shroud that nobody was selling new/repro because of that. Looks like GM screwed up on this part. As such I won't be going with a stock shroud for a 69 anyway. I heard the 68 BB shroud did fit the whole radiator as well, but with the short pump it changed things. So GM made this tough for us 69 BB w A/C guys.   Does the 71-72 shroud fit well without any modifications? I am assuming that's what you used?                                                                  Steve -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2003 4:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] Part # look up please?

Is this a GM resource or an aftermarket book?   This is getting really confusing. I am hearing that this BBC shroud doesn't cover the whole radiator core. I also heard that the 68 does, but the 68 used a short water pump, which places the fan in a slightly different location? Also need different pulleys.   Thinking strongly on going with a custom or shroud from an A/C company if I can't find a good GM shroud for my 69 BBC.                                                      Steve   Steve,   The BB fan shroud does not cover the whole radiator.  I have the original GM one on my 70.  The small block one does not cover the entire radiator either.  The only shroud that will cover the whole radiator is the 71-72 BB shroud, which are much bigger than the 69-70 one.  The 71-72 shroud will allow you to put a 19" fan on there as opposed to a 17".  I got the part number from GM for the 69-70 shroud.   Tom
