Meh, probably would help cooling i guess, but after the radiator upgrade and the major cooling system overhaul everything is very cool and actually runs cooler than the old setup with the shroud.

Plus,

I switched over to a SA style short radiator so i could mount the FMOC under the rad and my 84-85 FB radiator shroud no longer fits...

So i guess i just havent seen a need yet to find a SA style shroud.

Like i said, it stays ultra cool all the time, so i guess when i get around to it

These one's should work better. Keep in mind the hood still needs to be refinished, and painted.
