Not to rob this thread, but Deuce, can you tell me the setup you are running there? Looks like a Zips pump riser... does it run cool enough when it sits and idles for long periods of time? Does that shroud just screw to the little 1/4" flange on the back edge of the radiator? My deuce currently has an engine driven flex fan without any riser, and is only about 15" wide with no shroud. I don't want to tear the whole fromt of the car apart to change stuff, but i THINK i can take off the current fan and coax an electric fan in there without taking much apart but the upper hose and the flex fan itself... another thought was to buy a walker shroud like that and cut it to fit the engine fan where it is now (low)... I didn't think this was good, but a rodder friend of mine said he had a model A he did this to and it made a world of difference, even though most of the top portion of the rad was covered by the shroud... He said it forced the air down and through the shroud.... i also think i could likely "coax" one of these shrouds into place without taking the grille shell/rad/hood/headlight bar/etc. off the car, but not sure. Right now it seems to run fine when its moving, even at 25-35mph, but if it sits at idle for awhile the temp will start climbing.
