COOLING
Radiator Fan Shrouds
The radiator fan shroud is one of the key components to keeping your Buick engine cool. TA offers these quality fiberglass
reproductions of original fan shrouds, for most V8 applications. Utilizing original Buick shrouds as patterns these shrouds will
directly replace a broken or missing original, these shrouds incorporate the same mounting provisions as original as well as the
upper hose support mount where applicable. Please note: the use of fiberglass produces a much stronger and more durable
piece than the original plastic. However, the inside will show the fiberglass texture and additional prep work may be needed in
order to duplicate the exterior appearance of the original type plastic shroud.

TA 2040C: Fullsize cars used two mounting tabs on the top of the
shroud, Riviera used one mounting point in the center of the shroud.

mounting tabs can be removed and re-finished for Riviera
applications.
TA 2040D: Incorporates upper hose support mount correct for 1970
GS 455, is compatible with `68-`69 `71 `72 type. Must measure
opening for `71-`72 GS 455 models. Use this shroud when
transplanting 400-430-455 engines in `68-`72 Skylark/ GS and `71-`72
LeSabre, Electra, Centurion.
NOTES:
The Essential Fan Shroud
If you are troubleshooting an engine that runs hot, the first place to look is
the fan shroud. The shroud ensures that the maximum amount of air
passes through the radiator. If the shroud is missing, broken or not
dimensionally correct, or the fan is not positioned correctly or not the
correct size for the shroud, the shroud will be ineffective. The diameter of
the fan should be within 1/2 of the opening of the shroud. The depth of the
blades in the shroud should be so 1/2 of the blade is in the shroud and 1/2
outside (towards the engine)of the shroud.
