    I'm not sure,but since up to the 70 big cars and GS ,all had the same shrouds,just a different number,maybe maybe yours is the same as the 350 shroud.I have one of those,if you need it.Bruno.

    Hey Bruno, so what your saying is up to the 70's all the big cars and GS had shrouds but they all had different part numbers? So even though i have a buick 350 that dosen't mean a 350 fan shroud would work for me nessicarly? Did i get that correct?

    No,it would have to be a 350 fan shroud,as the 350,being smaller,seats back towards the firewall more then the 455,so you would need a longer [ toward the firewall ] shroud.Bruno.

    Yes I do have it.I could let you have at a reasonable price, but shipping will be high.Where do you reside?If its within a few hours,it would pay to drive,unless somebody close to you has one.By this I do not mean that I don;t want to sell it to you,just looking for your best interest.So if you want it lets get together via PM's.Bruno.

    Came out of the Buick parts book. Do you have a picture, or is it just not there. I'm thinking it is the older style shroud.

    I bought a 69 fan shroud for a 350 from a board member that didn't work for my 68 GS, because as Bruno stated, the BBB is closer to the radiator making it shorter than the 350 shroud. Let me know if you still need one and where you are located.
