Fitted a shroud to my 289 falcon and it helped a bit with cooling. My 53 runs fairly warm wondered whether it's worth making one for that too? Thanks Ian
Since many of the members have used Mustang radiators which have the same core size as 1949-56 Fords they have used these also: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1967-1969-F...Parts_Accessories&hash=item566a721b55&vxp=mtr
Oh snap... that is cool. I'm considering a Mustang radiator for my car and that shroud might be good. Beats cutting one out of tin stock and riveting it all together.
A shroud always helps air flow. With no shroud the fan just blow air around the engine compartment at low speed and doesn't really **** air through the radiator.
I used to make them for my stock cars out of relatively light aluminum. In case of a crash I wouldn't lose the fan or have it push into the radiator.
