Found an aluminum shroud that will work with the 22” oe style radiator
Heres the finished install, also got my clutch fan mounted up. This shroud fits my radiator way better than the repro plastic shroud did, plus this baby wount warp at all.
Just have to be aware of the space on the radiator where the shroud mounts to. Due to the shrouds walls on the side the minimum width that you can have to mount the shroud is 21 7/8” from center of mounting hole across to center of the other mounting hole. At this width the screws will be right up against the wall of the shroud on the sides as shown in the pictures below. Had to redrill 4 holes in the radiator as the original holes pattern isnt wide enough to mount the shroud. The holes that were drilled ended up being about 1/8” off the edge of the radiator shroud mount flange.
Maybe a 1/8” gap where the indents in the radiator are, believe it or not this shroud is tighter against the radiator than my previous repro shroud.
