    Is the fan shroud the same for the 350 and 455, or are they different?

    baking,
    The fan shrouds for the 350 and 455 cars are different. If you need one for a big block some of the ones from the big cars will work such as '70-'73? Electras and Centurions. T/A used to sell reproduction ones also. If you need one for a 350 they are usually pretty easy to find, there were alot of 350 Skylarks built.

    Ken,
    Thanks for the info. Painekiller has one listed on eBay, but it's for a 350. I need one for a 455.
    Thanks again,
    baking

    The big car shrouds should work....

    Chris Blair has one from a 73 Riv ( I think) in his Lark. THe 73's were a cream color....I guess they used to be white.

    I would spend the money on a repro from year one like Dave said.

    Just don't try to steal the shroud off my car:grin:

    The big car shrouds (at least the ones I have) have a larger opening for the fan (~22"). That is the right size for the 20" big car fan. That opening is not really optimal for the 18" GS fan. If you have cooling issues you could always find the 19.5" seven-blade GM fan and use that. Does anyone know if the big car shroud only came with the 20" fans?
