    Has anyone here built their own fan shroud or found a stock one and modified information technology to fit the champion radiator in an A body. Whether it is a 22" or 26" doesn't matter. Pictures would glucinium great also.

      A picture would be nice to see how that inverted out. Would be awesome to use my line of descent shroud.
    • I bought a 22" Champion Radiator for my 72 Dustrag and had to move the radiator up about 1/2" because the upper hose would not take in the buff because where the hose introductory is situated.

      (I have a Mopar Performance Mucilaginous Lover with a fan clutch bag for a Felis onca)

      I am will be opening off trying to modify my stock/repro shroud...needing to maybe cut a chunk out of it and tailored bending something to replace the missing piece.

      But article on making a fibreglass hide seems to stimulate merit.

      I will be addressing my fan shroud issues in September when I come back from holiday.

      I appreciate the B personify information, it is well-behaved info to know. The thing about the A personify champion radiators is they are not the same acme as the neckcloth ones so the stock shroud won't work without mods, if at all.

      Said situation Hera. If Champion would just move the uppoer hose down inlet outwards a few inches I suppose a stock shroud would suited.

      I didn't move my radiator up. Just used a smaller diameter buff. Actually cut 1" off the blades of my MP fan.

      When my radiator comes in I testament make up trusty to post pictures of it and the install. I am going to try and modify a breed 26" enshroud to fit. If not I will have to make an aluminum unitary. Only I call back I can make a stock nonpareil work. I am hoping all I will have to set is cut a section out of the center of the weather sheet and put it spine unitedly. We'll see.

      im using the 26" with a big block, i think with the engine starting time and hieght of the BB, ther eprobably isnt a factory shroud that would make for. i very rarely have problems with the temp but when it does creep skyward its in cease and lead, a hide would help sure. i was intellection of either aluminium operating theater fiberglass, ive worked with fiberglass making Speaker enclosures before and had good results, i never byword that link though. identical helpful to see it done.

      Champion told me their twin 10 inch fans would fit on their 22 inch 4 core radiator with their shroud. And it would fit fine in my '72 Dart 360 jam. Well it does not eve come close.
      It did not clear the pulleys at all. I had to zipper tie the fans to the radiator. I sounded ahead I ordered and told them, they said it would body of work but nope. They said to ship it back (at my expense) and they would perhaps endeavour something other. Shipping cost from Florida to California is quite expensive.
      Directly I too must make something else work.
      I am not mad, but man am I disappointed.

      I am leaving to advance this before long. Things have been crazy around my mansion the yesteryear couple weeks. Should be able to get the radiator installed away Wednesday and go from at that place. I am ready to get this thing in there and see what happens.
    • This doesn't surprisal me. I ordered one of them POS radiators and it came in in a NON-DAMAGED Package yet the radiator was Eastern Samoa cockeyed as a blind rooster. I didn't detect it until I started to bolt IT up to my perfectly straight core support and found when 3 corners were pulled up the other corner was taboo approx. 3/8". Plus my shopworn winding-clothes that they told me would bolt ripe up was way bigger than the radiator. IT overlapped uppermost and merchant ship by quite second. I had the joy of boxing IT support, feeding $30 to send it back and re-installing my honest-to-goodness radiator so I could make a railcar cruise I cherished to attend. Oh yeah, the welds looked like yellow-bellied crap too.

      i did the fiberglass one right after visual perception that post. i thought of doing it but ive made the speaker enclosures but i just couldnt puzzle out a good wy to make the fan opening, until i saw that guy's site. our temps dropped so i cant do a fair comparing but i have been driving it every day the close 2 weeks and i got perplexed in traffic a couple of times, it went equal to 180 unmatchable time. i have a 180 stat and im mentation i call for to essay soemthing hotter. it stays at 165 beautiful much day in and day out unless i hit a lot of stop and go for a while. i didnt do a finish putty on it even so, i desired to get to sure it worked before finishing it off. i didnt bother taking any pics since that writeup is pretty good. i didnt bother cutting mine in half the rad comes out easy enough. only matter i really did different is i laid a 3/4" aluminum flat saloon in the fleece and wrapped it where it will bolt to the rad to reward the methamphetamine hydrochloride and keep IT unexciting where the bolt heads sit. i broached the champion holes to 5/16 and just used around body bolts. i bought way more waterial than i needed in case i screwed up so it was a little expensive only the maiden one seems like a winner and IT doesnt look liek a stocker would function anyway. im exploitation the 26" with a parts store 18" fan and jaguar clutch. i really didnt wan to go galvanic.

      NO.

      maybe when i get it altogether through.
      every said and done, i spent 85 bucks BUT i bought way many than i needed for a fudge factor. a gallon of resin a piece of 5/16 or 3/8 mdf because i sought to be competent to really strech it into shape if i had to and 2 yards of fleece, which i found when making speaker enclosures, you can employ all kinds of squeeze, information technology antitrust has to comprise strechy. ive used t shirts, the fleece whole works acceptable because its strechy and when you fill information technology every up with resin it winds upward pretty thick.

      I've had cooling issues with my barracuda from day one and I've tried every wrong way to fix it. The temperature e'er stayed level at about 180* while drive at 30+ mph, but I had to avoid cities and dealings at all costs because the temperature would just keep happening rising to 220+ degrees. I added a 26" 3-rowing champion radiator and besides bought their aluminum shroud with dual 12" fans. The atomic number 13 shroud and double fans sure looked cool but unfortunately they were non enough to keep it cool at an idle, so the temperature even climbed while driving down the freeway! Their shroud blocks way besides much air from going through the radiator to exist stiff.

      I finally decided to starting time from rub and exactly overhaul the entire cooling system. I already had a high-flow water ticker and high-flow 180* t-stat, and the champion 26" radiator. I added a 17" fan with thermal clutch, hood-to-cowl seal, hood-to-radiator core support seal, and fictional a customized fiberglass fan shroud.

      The shroud looks gravid as you can see in the pictures Hera. I followed the techniques linked in previous posts in this thread. I used three layers of chopped glass, cardinal applications of body makeweight, and semi-gloss black blusher. Just dressed this project this evening and took the cuda for a test drive. I drove more or less cardinal miles at an modal of 45mph to get it good and warmed up, the temperature held steady at 180*. I horde it place and parked it in the driveway and just Army of the Righteou it operate for half an hour. Temperature climbed to 185* and zero further. Success! Look self-assertive to getting stuck in some real stop-and-attend see how it does.

        As a matter of fact, yes it is. And yea, the water heart is the funky passenger side inlet. It gets the job done!Nice! Yeah, it's cooled down quite a bit Hera too. I'm kinda hoping for one much hot twenty-four hour period to give it a judge. Oh well, at that place's always next summer. But in the mean time, I'm happy adequate with the cooling now to start putting connected some aluminum go past-end parts. I see an Edelbrock performer Rev intake manifold in my not too distant future

        Love that shroud blackhand. You did an awesome business thereon, looks like a factory made piece. I still haven't gotten around to installing my radiator yet, mayhap later today. I besides have a factory 26" rooter shroud I picked up pretty cheap and going to see how it fits the champion radiator when it comes in.
