Radiator and shroud out of a '78 with 351M

[johnnyreb]

When I first bought it. My friend and I stopped at this gas station and I filled it all the way up and took a little trip back through the national forest and back to the station. Checked the mileage. I had traveled 33 miles. I filled it up the same and it took 1 gallon of gas. I told my friend. Just think what it will do when I tune it up. I tuned it up and got 28---hahahaha--went and check the plugs--different number--went back to the old number and its back. It has the v-6. automatic transmission. I done a little more work and its improved on power and haven,t checked the mileage since. I use REGULAR GAS---STAY AWAY FROM ETHANOL--CAUSES TO MANY PROBLEMS.

In 1959-60. Their was a Americam Rambler that got 39 mpg--with the 6 cylinder standard transmission.. They made trip back and forwards the US from Cailfornia to Florida and other places.

I traveled 31 miles-round trip.

Got a really nice radiator and fan shroud out of a 78 bronco.
I swapoed a 460 in, so I went with a bigger radiator.
$100.00 for both.
I'm in Northern Kentucky, near Cincinnati.

Hey Zeus, I'm interested in just the fan shroud. Can you give me a price including shipping to 95640? My email is [email protected] if you would like to message me back there. Thanks!

Hey, I might be mistaken on this shroud, I think it's for a 302 and not a 351m/400.

Is there a part number on it?

 

[Zeus78]

Gimme a bit, I have photos somewhere that show the codes on the shroud.

I,ll measure mine later today. It had a 351 in it.

 

[johnnyreb]

I measuerd mine and it was --15 x 28 1/2 The measurement was the same as on my 4 row radiator

 

[Zeus78]

I believe it's for a 302

Well why don,t he measure it and compare my measurements--alot of times parts will have different number-but be the same part.

Brassworks is an American company that makes Radiatirs,heater cores,SCHROUDS. They do have a backlog of about 6-8 weeks because of labor shortage. Check out the site on the internet.

$3.94, which is an improvement.
Diesel is still hight at $4.87. I have two diesel trucks. My F450 has a 47 gallon tank, it almost makes me cry when I fill that tank. Ugh.

I run a construction business. Last year, I bought all new F350's, but I went with the new 7.3 gas motors. They're awesome and now that diesel is so expensive, I'm glad I went with gassers.

It went up again her. REAL gas is $4.27 cents and another reason food has gone up is because the feds are checking the tractor trailer more on the U.S.borders and have the backed up . Instead of punishing those who try and come hear illegal. Why don,t the government sanction those country?

I measured the core of my rad and it's 18 1/2 x 28. I ended up buying an aluminum shroud for my electric fan. Not ideal, but worth a shot. And it was only $80 shipped.

These fiber ones that come on the bronco,s are bad about breaking--which a piece broke out of mine. I,m gonna get some metal and make my own and have it to where I can place tools on it. Without falling off. Taps and metal would probably cost around $20. They wouldn,t be hard to make. Just make sure the bends go with the grain of the metal and on places it can,nt be helped. Add braces to it.
