radiator and shroud
I guess my car needs more money. This week it is the radiator. Removing the fan shroud was nearly impossible, although I have done this before without the grief! Almost destroyed the shroud and the radiator removing them. Getting the new rad from Dewitts, but what about the fan shroud, anything new out there? If I go to an electric fan do I still need the fan shroud? Do not want to destroy the new radiator on the install. Anything to get away from this piece. Any ideas?

It's probably best to sell the shroud and fan to help defray the cost of the radiator and fans. 
By the way, is yours a small block, automatic with A/C? If so, do you still have the shroud extension [4" wide strip that fits into the bottom of the shroud]? I'm interested in purchasing an original piece, if you still have it.
