  • Lots of work but should pull way more air through the radiator.

    Wow that looks great Rob thanks to you I bought some of that tube seal from Amazon unbelievable 25 ft for $10 a steal.I was amazed how tight it fits on the u channel side excellant holding design and they also sell a right angle design too. I used a rubber mallet to smack it on and it really worked well on an old boatmotor cover.Thanks for the tip! Oh & I said the same thing now he has to polish the radiator to match that filler piece, LOL!

    What a surprise to see this! I have the same exact problem and was wondering how to address it. I have a Be Cool in my 57. It doesn’t start getting warm till around 95 degrees out side At 100 it depends on whether I’m sitting at a light or not. I have the shroud, now I know how to attach it. Thank you!

    Looks great! I ran a .030 over 327 with a .480 lift cam & the same heads as Steve has in my 56. It had a stock radiator and I don't remember it running hot even without a shroud. When I put a 406 in it was a different story.

    I have a .060 overbore 327 similar to Steve's and I have had no overheating issues. Your quality of work is incredible!!!!

    I'm wondering if you took some cardboard to make a template and cut some sheet metal up. You could pull it off I don't know if it will work but it's worth a try.

    Why not just move the whole shroud down , redrill a few holes 🤦🏻

      Because of the fan. If the shroud goes down, the fan hits it.
