I've never seen a full shroud on a 300-6 beyond a short "guard" that bolts to the radiator. I have one I'll give you for the price of shipping if you want it.

Factory A/C and/or super cooling option got a shroud. Non-A/C used the smaller radiator and that little guard across the top.

I have the wide radiator in mine, but it only came with the small shroud. I'll take some measurements and pic's if you like.

Engine bay pictures

Heer's one I have at work, I can post more tonight when I get home. I think Ford used a BIG shoehorn on the 460. Note the dual "smokegrinders" That's how it gets by with no catalytic converter.

The 460 really isn't shoe-horned in there - but I've got years of working with Corvettes under my belt. In the truck engine bay, the 460 looks like a smallblock does in a regular passenger car.
