Any info on this style fan shroud?

[Dailydubs]

Hello I'm hoping someone can identify this fan shroud? Is it available through a supplier or a custom piece? Any help would be appreciated.

Custom piece. Back in the day we did this by welding a bicycle fender to the top.

That looks like a custom piece. ..I believe the builder rolled some tubing to match the 36hp fan shroud profile, cut the tubing in half and then welded it to the flat profile. ..it's not hard to do, it will be a tedious time consuming mod...from what I see he did an excellent job. ..I might try that some day. ...very cool

It's a modified aftermarket 36hp dog house shroud.... It's custom.

Thanks for the quick replies. Im am going to attempt this soon and I will post pics of the outcome. If it turns out well we might offer a limited run of them on our website.

I like the way it looks!!! Working with fanhousings with Cali Style taught me even small changes make a difference either better or worse. If it was one of the better, meaning close to OEM and no vanes were removed or moved, OK good start. I would think the height would be the same as stock due to it fitting in the car. If not it would be higher or lower. Stock tops are flat. Does round flow air better, Surely you loose some area , by cutting corners, a pun.. but serious. '

Keep in mind the 36 hp fanhousing with a doghouse was not stock to begin with . Works great, that is what I use in manual.

A T-4 is very forgiving and runs cooler then a T-1 due to the 1/3 larger heads dissipating heat, so you have less worry about some non OEM mods.

A T-1 fanhousing is right on the fence when it comes to cooling . Not plugging a hole here or there makes a difference.\

Hay if not problem found with a rise in temp great.

So what do we know besides it looks great.
Would I sell a bunch and wait to see if I get a law suit, not me.

One hopes the internals were kept so the vanes are still there and doing their job. I would guess someone that particular would have done so!

That is an awesome looking show car engine, but I would guess it would run very hot and overheat in an actual street driven car.

I could swear I remember seeing a handful of these at the Sacto BOR years ago. IIRC they were not modified stock shrouds.

Looks great - almost art deco...Very clean...Interesting choice of colors, but it works very well. Asside from the power pulley, i don't see anything that is really an issue myself - Yeah - oil lines are a little closer to the header than I would like, but have sen a lot of cars like that. And it has a doghouse, which helps.

to the designer/builder.

There's more, but not keeping them...

[dsrtfox]

It doesn't look like he necessarily cut the flat top off, he could have just welded the curve over it...

[Alstrup]

Don´t think its a power pulley, but the oil filter location is hopefully just for show.

[Eaallred]

That's a common place to mount an external filter. There are numerous companies making brackets to mount them like that.

Nothing about that screams that it would overheat. The whole "if it's not a stock shroud outs gonna overheat" bs needs to gtfo.

I'm a function-first guy all day. But that shroud looks nice.
