Question opinions on rad/fan setup

I have a 22x19 (the whole thing) Griffin Radiator with stock clutch fan currently. I am missing a shroud so the car overheats in like 2 minutes and starts boiling. I am basically thinking I want to keep the clutch fan (after some research) but I don't know how i will make a shroud work. Any ideas on what to do?
Thanks,
Ben

The problem is, that you will either have to fab some kind of adapter for the stock shroud, custom make your own. I have seen both routes taken, and the E-Fan is probably your best solution.

In this case, I would recommend getting a good aftermarket efan. Lots of people have had good luck with the Blackmagic, and the junkyard Fiero fan definitly works well. I use a fan from a V6 Pontiac 6000, which works very will with my Fluidyne rad. I cut the shound off, and then mounted the fan as a "puller" very close to the rad. Never a problem with high temps. I also run a generic Summit Racing thermostat to control the fan.
