Fan shroud

[68 chevy man]

I have a chrome 19.5" fan I want to install on a small block 350 on a 68 chevy 4x4 but the hole in the shroud is too small can anyone tell me if there is a shroud that I can get that will fit. I have a 18" flex fan but it makes too much noise the one that I have is a clutch type. 😊

I believe 19.5" fan is made for big-block trucks. Not sure what shroud might fit your truck.

My suggestion is not what you are asking, but it's what I would do. Get a Hayden #2747 heavy-duty fan clutch and pair it with a factory 18", 7-blade fan. And throw away the flex fan.

Thanks Mike I'm a bit inclined to follow your suggestion I'm sure I'll be able to sell the chrome 19.5" fan at the next swap meet I only paid $10 for the fan and the clutch at the last swap meet.

Good luck with whatever you decide. I hope you'll let us know what you do, also how it works out for you.
