    Hi All,
    In addition to the fan shroud, I am looking for a 5 or 6 blade fan that will fit the shroud. If anyone hears or knows of any, PLEASE email ! Thanks for all the help!

    The disadvantage of being selfemployed...

    With the nice weather comes work.... Just got home and beat.
    I have the fan/clutch assembly your looking for, just to dark out and I'm way too tired to go back out. I promise I will measure the shroud and check on the fan assembly first thing in the morning.
    I'm parting out the Riv due to a rusted out frame. Please be patient.
    Kelly.

    took pictures

    Got my tired butt out of bed and took a look.
    The shroud has a small chunk out of it but is 29 1/2 X 18
    Dont know if you were looking for something perfect or not.
    The fan is a 5 blade.

    Kelly,
    It's hard for me to tell where the chunk is out of it. Is it at the top? What size is the engine in your riv? Honestly I don't know what question to ask to know if the fan blade will fit our 430.
    How much on the shroud and fan? By the way--thanks for all your help and time on this.

    My riv is a 430 and the chunk is shown clearly in the middle of the second picture.
    $50 plus what ever shipping is.

    I have a shroud from a 1968 Electra . I removed from the car and the complete grille. The shroud is 27 1/2 " wide and the circular blade opening is 22 3/4". it has a 3/4" hole on the left side about 5-6 " down from top, otherwis is perfect. according to parts book should fit 1967 & 68 6000 - 8000 w/ac, and 69-70 Riviera.
