Brian,
A 71 shroud would be the same. The only MFI shroud differances is the color. A 71 "T" shroud would not work as those cars had carbs, thus there would be no cut-out for the fuel injectors.
69-73 E and S would be the same. 72 T MFI and the first half of 73 T are pretty much the same. The later 73 T's were CIS injection.
T shrouds were black, E's were yellow, and all S's were red.
Rick - a slight correction to your post above:
'E' fan shrouds are green.
The early 'T' shrouds were black, then I think they went to yellow.
A- OK Andy.......Thanks for the correction! Carb T's were green, yellow were MFI.
Forgot to add, that early E's were green also.
Rick - I don't think 'T' shrouds were ever green.
As far as I remember 2.0/2.2 T engines (& euro 2.4T's with carbs) had black shrouds & 2.4 T mfi shrouds were yellow.
I think that 2.7 CIS engines then used green shrouds...
Right again, I should stay off the tech boards untill I have been awake for a hour!! New rule!
One tip...the '73 shroud has a removable section that allows access to an engine mounted oil cooler nut that '72 & earlier shrouds don't. Alan Caldwell, August 2000 PANO, described '69-'73 shroud colors thusly:
911T-black
911E-green
911S-red
The exceptions: MFI 911T was yellow, and the '73 1/2 911T with CIS went back to black...
Take notes guys, there will be a test later. ;)
