Re: [Chevelle-list] 68 fan shroud
I think Tom already said this, but the difference is the depth, not the width. -Original Message- I'm looking at the OPG catalogue and it lists both the small and big block shroud at 29" wide, which is the width of the core of my radiator. Are you sure about this? Kevin Riel From: [mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED]] To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Date: Mon, 1 May 2006 22:26:33 EDT Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] 68 fan shroud Just FYI, the 68 fan shroud is a year specific item. It has 3 bolt holes to hold it to the radiator top plate instead of 2 like the 69-72's. As long as you have the same top plate, get the shroud for the engine in the car, not what radiator is in it. Big blocks are 2 inches longer than a small block which brings the fan closer to the radiator. If you put a big block shroud on a small block car, the fan will not sit in the shroud where it needs to be making it ineffective. Tom

Re: [Chevelle-list] 68 fan shroud
I just looked in the OPG catalog and I see what you are talking about. I just measured mine and it measures the same 29x19. Maybe this is something new. They were not available when I was looking. I would call them and verify the application and ask about the return policy just in case.

Re: [Chevelle-list] Chevellabration Spectator Fee??
The spectator fee was quite high last year, $15.00 sticks in my head for some reason.

I think they will slide on however. Been a while sine I had drums on the front.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 66 Brake Drums
Thanks John. I'll have to see if my 72 chassis still has the two rear drums on it. That would solve me problem.

The rears are for 2" brake shoes. Probably not safe to use on rear with the 2" shoes. Don't think the front shoes will fit rear due to setup for emergency brake. If I remember correctly the brake drums are the same on all Chevelles with drum brakes through 72. Although I doubt but a few 72's had drum brakes.

With that said, call them, they still have a few rooms available, especially after I cancel my reservation. The first time we went to CB we stayed at this hotel. It was nice, clean, close to the park, and decent price.

Re: [Chevelle-list] 68 fan shroud
Ok... all of this makes sense. Does anyone know what the difference is for the 68 w/AC and the heavy duty radiator? Do you think the regular 68 small block shroud would work? Thanks for the help so far!

It has 3 bolt holes to hold it to the radiator top plate instead of 2 like the 69-72's. As long as you have the same top plate, get the shroud for the engine in the car, not what radiator is in it. Big blocks are 2 inches longer than a small block which brings the fan closer to the radiator. If you put a big block shroud on a small block car, the fan will not sit in the shroud where it needs to be making it ineffective.Tom
