Hey does anyone know/ could you measure out the dimensions of the ATI shroud and fan. I'm Mainly concerned with how thick the fan and shroud are.

Trying to play around with my fan and shroud options and have searched forever but cannot find much info.

Thanks

This taken from my stock radiator LS1 F-body procharger supplied fan shroud...

From the bottom of the shroud to the top is 18-1/2 inchs tall. From side to side is 26 inchs wide, and the thickness of the material is 0.100" thick.

Here's a few pics of what I did to my shroud...

I ended up making my own shroud and putting the Zirgo fans on. I wasn't a fan of the two piece design of the shroud and putting my second fan (10") wouldn't allow the two piece design to bolt back together. So I made mine out of .050 2024-T-3 aluminum.

Ah very cool thanks! That looks pretty dang good! I hope I dont end up needing a 2nd fan.
Any chance you know how wide the entire setup is( fan and shroud)? Like for clearance sake of making sure I can get something to fit

How do you like the Zirgos? Cant decide the Spal or Zirgo! Yeah I would love to make my own as well.
How do these even really help to keep heat temps down...to me it looks like they all just block of a bunch of the radiator...and allow for a fan to bolt on...any pics of the one you made?? I would love to see it!
Did you have to like..flare it away from the rad to make the heat escape???

Couldn't it work out just as well to just zip the fan to the radiator and then with no shroud the entire radiator could let heat escape?!IDK my brain is just running with throughts now.

Anyone else have some input on this?

i have made a few custom 1 piece shrouds to fit stock f body rad's.

Looks good Mighty Mouse, would you care to share some details on it? dimensions that you went with, any challenges in mounting, etc.?

I guess I just dont fully understand is the mounting of it. If the shroud flush to the rad and the fans bolt on to it? That seems pointless....so Im assuming the shroud is raised away from the rad maybe a 1/4"-3/3" to allow the air to pass through?

the ones i've done fit right where the stock one sits, same dimensions as you can see in the picture compared to stock. the challenge was moving the fans around to clear my turbo. the shroud is whatever distance away it was from the factory, certainly not pushed up against the radiator fins.





heres one for a tbss, stock mounting locations again



heres another 4th gen f body one like what you guys are talking about.

On your design, are you using the stock f-body fans, and just bolting them into your plate? Is that the stock fan housing that covers the fan on your shroud, or did you source them from somewhere? I'm wondering specifically about those mounting ears that the bolts pass through.

MIGHTYMOUSE

they are lt1 fans which bolt to the factory shroud vs. molded in.


here is a 'procharger' shroud for 16 and 9" SPAL fans direct fit to f body rad.

I need to do this for a F1A F body. Did you run it with a factory radiator or can it fit with a aftermarket radiator? Any ballpark on on what the procharger fan flows vs the dual spals or whatever you ran?

the customer picked out the spal fans, name was Matt Moore. I don't know what h/u he had.
the ones i make are direct fit to stock rad, but of course anything is possible with enough dimensions.

I'm bumping this back up because I want to add this second fan especially for summer a/c weather. Do you know what the model of the smaller fan was and the size? Is it a 9" spal?

The fan is a 7.5'' Spal 440cfm. I would have gone with the 9" but had this laying around so I went with it. http://www.the-fan-man.com/shop/size...c42e5c75853906

Here is how I wired them up... https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...ring-help.html

Cool, I found that Spal fan on Amazon for $48 shipped. That will work perfect.

I'll just wire it in for the second fan, so it'll kick on when needed, especially if I use the a/c.

Thanks.
