I put the body on today and installed the radiator, its' support and fan shroud. I rotated the fan to check the clearance. The fan just touches the shroud on one side. I tried to make what little adjustments are availabe, but there doesn't appear to be any real adjustment for this. The radiator support is centered between the inner fenders.

Re: '67 BB FAN SHROUD
where are tips of fan blade touching the shroud?More shims at frame-core support interface would correct fan tips hitting top of shroud.Core support should be centered between frame rails which ideally would put core support centered around the fan.mike -
Re: '67 BB FAN SHROUD
Mike,
I shimmed the support to have equal shims at each inner fender. I'll shim it again centering it at the frame attachment instead. Thanks...Comment

Re: '67 BB FAN SHROUD
Mike,
I centered the support in the front frame mounts. It helped, but the blades are still very close on the right side. If I connect the upper shroud bracket to the radiator support it pulls it back to a worse position. The hole for the upper bracket in the shroud is about 1/2" off center and there is only a vertical adjustment on the bracket. I'll try one more time to position the shroud to clear all the blades, then tighten the mounting bolts. If that doesn't work, I'll try a new shroud in case this one is out of shape some how. This one has never been on the car, it had a replacement when I boughht it.Comment

Re: '67 BB FAN SHROUD
As usual, it was installer error. When I put the engine in the frame the right motor mount did not completely settle into place, but rather was raised about 1/2" more than the left. I lifted up on the opposite motor mount and it shifted into place. It's always something....ThanksComment
