Does anyone know if the 26" fan shrouds be reproduce fit the E bodies with the 340 sixpacks?

In any description I found it only mentions big blocks, so I was wondering if there is a difference either in the shroud itself or the mounting bolt holes.

Thanks, and what about the correct mounting bolts?
Anyone know the right sizes and correct type?

The 26" radiator uses 5 special nut to attach the shroud. I have them in stock and I`m sure that Bill does as well.

It uses four small square clips that attach themselves to the radiator side brackets, two per bracket. Then you need four finely threaded bolts with very small hex heads(SEMS stamped on early 1970 model year bolt heads and a stylised "P" stamped on all later ones) and large washers to attach the shroud to the rad brackets You can get the NOS bolts(silver zinc plated) and clips from Roger Gibson. They are for all 26" E and B Body rads.

Bill: Those four bolts will secure your rad to the rad support, but they are waaaaay tooo big to fit those four clips that you show, I will post a pic. of the proper bolts used for the shroud tonight.

I know the picture makes them look bigger than they actually are. But trust me they are the correct size to fit the clips shown and correctly secure the shroud.

Radiator to rad support bolts are 1/4-20 x 3/4" with a 1" captive washer
also in stock.

Good to know those are available. I scrounged several from a junk yard looking for ones with good threads. Also picked up some overflow hose clips.
