77 grand prix electric fans
So I'm working on a 77 grand prix. Built her a pretty stout 400 making about 375 hp. The fan shroud extension is busted up pretty bad as you can see by the Pic. Is this extension or a complete fan shroud available anywhere? I've also considered electric fans. The radiateo measures 28 x 18. Any recommendations? It's a non AC car

I think you could use sheet metal rivet it on and paint it black.
Or cut up another shroud and rivit it together. My buddy has a 77 GP with a 461 alumheads with stock cluch fan and shroud and it runs 180 all the time. |

This is the route I'm tentatively planning on taking. Was hoping this car shared shrouds with an older car and it was reproduced in some form though. Electric will be a last ditch choice.

I don't see a reason to go to the trouble and expense of installing electric fan(s) on your car. The factory shrouds and clutch fan should do an excellent job of cooling a 400 cubic inch motor. If your having cooling issues it's a symptom of another issue and installing electric fans would be a band-aid for another problem.
