FS: MFI Shroud

[Shaun 69 E]

looks to be yellow under the red paint, so probably 72-73. Nice piece. $100 + shipping

Would that be usable with a 67 with carbs ?
Does it cool the engine better than the earlier shroud ?

If so.

John, if you have carbs, I have a carb-specific shroud (no half-circle cutouts) from a 71.

My guess is you could use this with carbs, but not sure if it's optimal. I don't know if it cools better. it is a later design, so it very well may. hopefully someone who knows definitively will chime in.

Actually the first S's didn't have external coolers - mine doesn't. They started putting external coolers with the '69 S, but not before.
I did the shroud (later T shroud painted red) update on my '67S and the larger duct was good for a 30 degree drop in oil temps. I went from a oil temp of 210F to maybe 180F. But I also had a 120mm pulley installed. This might have to be changed back to the old 110mm one as the engine has problems getting over 140F when its in the early 60s outside. Based on my experience you don't need an external cooler.

Any pics of that other shroud ?
What year/model is it from ?

[Shaun 69 E]

I believe this is from a 71T

[John Fusco]

Are you sure that black one isn't an earlier shroud ?
Don't the later ones have the channel that you see on the left side of the red one - which, if I am not mistaken is the reason they are cooler ?

John, I think you are right as it looks exactly like the shroud off the 67 motor I am parting. It did come off a 71T I got years ago off eBay. That car was a mess-ended up parting it, so I am not surprised. Sorry to get your hopes up.
