Default Will a 69 427 fan shroud fit a 68 427??

I have a 68 427 400 trans. no a/c car and I'm wondering if a 69 427 400 trans. no a/c shroud will fit my car?

Thanks!

Not quite. 68 shrouds are one year only and mount to the sides of the radiator support. The shroud itself is a three piece affair bonded together. 68 radiator is wider than the 69.


69 shrouds mount to two studs on the bottom of the support which are not on the 68 support. Shroud is two piece.

Mike, the 68 radiator is smaller than the 69. Lou.

I thought the radiator and associated components were similar to '67 C2 - rad hoses certainly are!
