Did the 66 232 have a fan shroud attached to the radiator? Mine didn't have one and I can't seem to find one on any of the dealer sites.
Thanks, Tom

The parts book shows a stamped metal shroud used when the car had A/C or with heavy duty cooling. That's for the American. Joe

My '66 440 coupe was a 199 and didn't have one. My '66 440 convertible is a 290 and doesn't have one either. Neither came with AC.

I had a 69 American with a 232 and several fleet options, hd clutch, suspension, cooling, etc., it had the stamped steel fan shroud.
The 66 American 232 sw I have doesn't have a shroud, but years ago one of the parts cars I had , a 66 also, had AC, and a shroud.

From what I have observed, non A/C cars had a 4 blade fan and no shroud, A/C cars had a 6 or 7 blade fan with a shroud.

The V8 and I6 fan shrouds are different in that the engines hold the fans in a different location. There also seem to be different I6 fan shrouds where the tabs bolt to the radiators. I cleaned an I6 one up once and painted it nicely only to discover that the bolt holes didn't line up even though it was all I6 parts. Yes I flipped it over and tried again too.

Does anyone have a good source for an American V8 fan shroud?
