FS 1966 Fan & Shroud.

[BigClay]

For sale: Almost New 1966 19” A/C Fan, Thermo Clutch and Custom Fiberglass one piece Shroud (“custom” because I made it 2” deeper than stock for better flow). Less than 500 miles on all. I had on my ‘64 but switched to electric fans so I don’t need anymore. $100.00 plus shipping. (I’m in IL).

Big Clay, Thanks but I think I am going the way you went with the electric fans. Can you point me to a good set up for electric fans and shroud? Did you keep you oem radiator or did you go aluminum?

I have an aluminum radiator (made for the Bird). I measured the core, and found a twin fan/shroud made by Drale that I got from Summit Racing. It fit perfect with minor trimming. Problem is, they pull over 45 amps when running. I also installed a 100amp Alternator with heavier wiring to handle the load.

Thanks for the info. I was concerned about the Amp draw. Nice work! I'll check out Summit for the fans. I'm sure your set up works better than original.

Also need to know where you got the radiator. I'm not finding any aluminum that say they replace the 19" core size we had.
