I need a new fan shroud because mine is all rusted out. I noticed I can buy an 86-91 shroud but can not find one for an 85. Anyone know the difference? Would it work for me? Thanks

There are 2 metal shroud versions for 2 different size fan motors.
The small version was used 83-91.
The larger motor version was used in 86-91 with factory A/C and/or factory Syncro.
The shroud center mounting hole is different and the spacing of the 3 motor mounting holes is too.
