Keep your 68 to 77 GM A-Body running cool with this precision-engineered fan shroud that fits 14" Spal Brushless fans!

NOTE: This shroud may or may not fit if you have a stock steering box, please double check before ordering

Upgrade your cooling system with our custom-designed shroud for the Cold Case GMA42 radiator, that delivers measurably better cooling efficiency than the standard Cold Case shroud design.  Through optimized fan sizing and precision-engineered airflow channels, this shroud maximizes the contact between your fan and radiator surface—ensuring every CFM of airflow does its job.

While the standard Cold Case shroud is a solid choice, our design takes cooling performance to the HIGHEST level—ideal for high-performance builds, hot climates, or anyone who demands the absolute best from their cooling system.

Key Performance Advantages:

  • Enhanced Shroud performance: Flap doors allow "pass through" of high velocity air while at speed, dramatically cutting down the need for fan usage.
  • Optimized Fan Size: Direct fit 14" SPAL BRUSHLESS fans were selected by Monty
  • Not sure which fans to use? Check out Monty's independent fan CFM test results to see real-world performance data and compare different fan options.
  • Better Fitment: Custom-contoured to the Cold Case Radiator for a truly integrated cooling solution, overlapping the side tanks, accommodating larger fans.

Compatible 14" Fan Part Numbers (Not Included):

  • Spal 30107102 Brushless (500 watt "drop in" style) VA116-ABL505/105A
  • Spal 30107103 Brushless (300 watt "drop in" style) VA116-ABL324P/N-105A

Necessary Accessories for Installation (Not Included):

  • Brushless Fan Controller (optional)
  • Fan mounting hardware M6x1 - 32mm long 
  • Bolted version will need an extra Eight M6x1 - (10 to 16mm long) fasteners
  • Two Rubber Flap Doors - Spal part number 30130012 
  • Fan relay and wiring harness (if not already installed)
  • Make sure each relay is rated for 30 to 50 amps, depending on which fan you select. Manufacturers include Spal, Painless Performance, Derale, Ron Davis, and American Autowire. (I personally have the Painless Performance kit, with 195 on, 185 off)
  • It is highly recommended to use a PWM controller for these fans, including the SPAL temp sensor SBL-TS165P, 175P, 185P, Lingenfelter, and even some fuel injection systems such as the Holley Sniper.  
  • Alternatively, these fans can be operated like a brushed on/off fan.
  • See the "NEW Firebirds+Camaros" video for installation tips.
