more info

What if the car is equipped with 3.91 gears? Wouldn't it then have a fan shroud and heavy duty cooling????? Me thinks so.


We need to know more about the car in question.

Yeah well I'm thinking the same thing that they all came with shrouds doesn't make sense to me that because it didn't have air condition it should have not come with a shroud.

good point, we need to know more about the specific car in question.

HD cooling gets you the shroud. optional on the 442.

I was assuming (always wrong I know) the base 442, which is no shroud.

First, some terminology:
C60 = Air Conditioning
Y72 = Heavy Duty Cooling option
V01 = a heavy duty cooling package included with 3.91 rear gears.
V02 = a heavy duty cooling package included with 3.42 rear gears.

From the 1970 Product Information Manual (aka Assembly Manual), section 11, page 52:

442s with V01, C60, or Y72 all used the exact same radiator support, upper baffle, and insulators. These all went along with the 4-core (2.70") radiator (see earlier page), whose exact configuration varied a little with application.

442s with V02 are not listed on this page, which means they used the standard support, baffle, and insulators. Even though all those mounting parts were "standard," these cars used a 2.0" core radiator, which I believe is the 3-core.

Now look at section 11, page 110:

The fan shroud was only used on cars with C60, V01, andY72. In other words, cars with the 4-core radiator.
