Default Fan shroud

I am starting to hoard parts for my rebuild. Although I have not decided on the cam, heads, or intake, I have Hooker headers, and a heater core which I bypassed for about 4 years ago in the garage, and a Dewitt's aluminum radiator enroute. My fan shroud was a little nicked up from a broken motor mount a few years ago, so I am replacing it also. The cheapest I have found for the fan shroud is about 140 bucks from the last detail. Does anyone else have an idea of where to look besides Mid America, Ecklers, and Corvette Central?

I saw nothing that fits for sale there, and I didn't bother posting wanted, because I figured anything that came off a car would most likely be in worse shape than mine. I am looking for a new one simply because I will be in the perfect position to replace it while everything is out. Mine is not that bad, just not perfect.

No need for that. I have never had any cooling issues. The only reason I am replacing the radiator and shroud is because they will be removed during the engine rebuild.
