So, I got my new rad today so I figured now would be a good time to install the new to me fan shroud I got from someone here a while back.
If any of you have ever seen the stock 260 shroud, well, there isn't one. Just a "top plate" so you don't dangle your digits where they shouldn't go.
The shroud I got was from a V8 car and all the mounting points line up the the core support. The issue is the fan itself. The 260 runs a 4 blade fan,19" diameter with no clutch and it won't fit inside the shroud, hits the top by like 1/4".
My question is, do later cars or cars with a fan clutch run a smaller diameter fan blade? The factory 260 spacer is still there which does get the fan inside the shroud where it should be.
