The shroud helps direct air to the appropriate areas. Without it cooling would not be as efficient. Check the Classified section, and get a replacement dirt cheap.

Or you could remove the shroud and clutch fan, and install a electronic fan, although those are commonly less efficient.


I found this, dont know for sure if he sold the shroud yet... $15.00 OBO , Try sending him a PM.

Expect water temps to increase by 10-15 degrees.

Junk yard e fans aren't too bad i'd suggest makeing your own sheet metal shroud for the e fan you need something to direct the air through the rad.

Pick up a fan shroud at your local junkyard.
