Looking for fan shroud with 400, believe they were on A/C cars, anyone have one. Thx Chris

 

I've never come across a used one, but they are being reproduced. Go to the following link, look for the parts for sale section, then scroll down almost to the bottom. You'll find a link to the person who's reproducing them.

Thanks 2BLU442, had not been to BRO442 in a long time, been updated and pict's are better. Found the shrouds, did not know they had plastic shrounds back in '65, thought only metal, but apparantly for the small block 330. Thx chris

 

I've got a metal ring shroud for a 1964, but the plastic one on BRO is the only thing I've seen for 1965's. Maybe one of the other members here can speak up to clarify what came on 1965's

pm if interested , I have a metal one from a 65 cutlass with 330 a/c car. Oem

 

Do you still have shroud? Thx Chris

 

All air conditioned 330 1965 330 f85's received a metal fan shroud. 65 442's received a plastic shroud.

Possible early weight reduction? chris

 

I have a plastic one from a 66 Cutlass with 330 if that will work?

 

Not sure if '66 is same, I thought '66 was a crossflow radiator?

 

The 1965 442 I have came from the factory with the special cooling option (but not A/C) and was equipped with a ring similar to lunaboy's photo.
1965 was a vertical flow; 1966 was a horizontal flow.
The parts book for 1965 (group 1.277) shows a "ring assy" part number 389067 for F85 A/C or special cooling option exc. 442. The same book shows a "shroud" part number 389430 for the 1965 F85 442 option.
The 1966 parts book shows a "shroud", part number 391030 for the F85 series.
While the parts books don't seem to agree with the car I bought, it is what it is.

 

Better air flow through the radiator core. The plastic one fully enclosed the the radiator.

Factory air conditioning makes the difference in fan shroud usage.
