Does this look like good bet?
People were paying a fortune for them because they were obsolete and mainly unavailable.
I never saw them last time I was on the NPD.

I needed a shroud for my 79 bronco after the Battery went through it. I found a shround on a late 70's pickup with a 351W. This shroud is proper DIA, Height and Depth. BUT, it is 3inches narrower than the 351M version with AC. Also the 351W shroud has the fan hole cetered to the shroud. Radiator in the Bronco is 3inches of center to the engine. I cut and drilled a 3inch x 25 inch plate to offset the shroud and take up the left over space. it mounted to the stock holes on one side and to the plate on the drivers side. cheap and easy. cools great.

i guess it doesnt matter, the engine looked smaller. the shroud may have been narrow because the truck may not have had AC, didn't look. height and dIA were good. so it I went with it.
