I like 76 Vett's.....NICE! Im gonna replace the shroud too.....just bought a spacer for the fan to move it right up to the radiator and into the 4" shroud.....Replace the thermastat and take it on a freeway ride. If it stays cool enough on the freeway.....but overheats in stop-n-go traffic, then I will add two pusher fans on the front of the radiator. Hope that works!
