Car Details:1986 Camaro, bought into Spain by me in 1993.
305 replaced by a 355, 750 Demon carb, RPM AirGap intake, Brodix heads, Hedman Hedders, 3" Flowmaster exhaust.
Wheels are Summit aluminium 5 spokes, tyres are 245 rear 225 front BF Goodrich.
B/M transmission, battery relocated to the rear, GoodMark 4" cowl steel hood.
Location:Spain East Coast
Make one.
This was my first one, I made it deep so the two fans would pull air from all corners of the radiator.

Being so deep it was almost touching the engine pullies so recently I made a thinner one.
The holes at the bottom were originally covered by a rubber flap which would open at speed but it never really
worked, so I removed it.

There is a knock on effect when changing parts, no part seems to be stand alone.

You could search fan shrouds at Summit Racing they have a wide selection.

Okay I just realized, better late than never, you have a 1st gen.
Here´s a search link for mechanical fan shrouds.

Holy C**p that's a lot of fan cowls to dig through.
I think I will have another play this weekend and see if I can mod the one I have before I buy something just because it looks shinney :o
