Any good sheet metal or air conditioning shop should be able to fabricate a rectangular box the size of the radiator with a hole in it slightly larger than the diameter of the fan. Bracket it to the radiator mount so there are no big leaks. Important- - - - -don't fully enclose the fan. Half the fan blade depth should be enclosed by the shroud, not the entire fan, so position the shroud so the opening is even with the front of the water pump flange. Jerry
