    did a 350/455 conversion, so need the any Buick 455 1972 fan shroud. Given covid 19 etc, hoping to find one in Canada. Thanks

    No I haven’t found one. I’m thinking about getting the TA performance one, but assume it’s not quite correct

    Do you have any salvage yards local to you that might have older stuff?

    A shroud from a 71-72 big car will fit just as well.

    Will a 70 wildcat have the same shroud as a 72 GS?

    Still looking. TA performance is out of shrouds, on back order!

    I'm not sure, Brett mentioned a 71-72 big car shroud would work I figured maybe the 70 one might work with maybe a few mods??

    What are the odds it’s a 455 powered skylark......unfortunately I need the 455 shroud. Thanks for looking. There must be one in western Canada somewhere!

    It may be a 455 shroud? Call the yard on Tuesday and ask?

    I contacted Cole, no shrouds. I just ordered a 1970 retro from Todd at Stage1restorations. The 1970 takes an 18 inch 7 blade, which I have from the gs350. Couldn’t wait any longer for a used one. Thanks for the help
