Fan Shroud

[crebo]

I made the conversion to a big block. My fan shroud suffered the consequences.
I'm putting on new heads, intake and cam and roller tipped rockers. I figure thats a good enough time to change my shroud.
I'm just wondering. Should I buy a bb shroud or would it make a difference. Are they the same?
If I have a choice. Which would be better?
Thanks guys....

I made the conversion and used my old SBC shroud and radiator. My Vette is a 75 with A/C, so it already had the big radiator and heavy duty clutch and fan. I still use the shroud, but it is now a 3 piece, due to a broken water pump shaft incident.

I did build an extension ring for the shroud, installed a new heavy duty clutch and 18" blade, which helped increase the fan's ability to pull more air through the radiator.

Yeah Tom,
I'm one of the lucky ones. I'm in the military so I claim TX.
I guess the answer is to get the small block shroud. I didn't imagine a difference...but I thought I'd ask.
