No shroud I had to ditch it with the dual fan set up. You really don't need the shroud anyway. I mounted my washer fluid bottle and coolant overflow to each side of the fan mounting brackets with those real thick heavy duty zip ties. They work great and keeps those bottles secure even when full. I promise to have pics up tommorrow it's too dark now for me to get good quality pics.

well, all of this started with my waterpump...it had been leaking for about a week and saturday i replaced it.......i couldnt get the old clutch and fan off and ended up bending it..........so , i couldnt tell you how long to get the old one off....lol.....if you do try, i would soak it with PB for a few days.....to put it on was so simple....20 min tops....now, the wiring is what will take you the longest....as for feeling any thing, the answer is YES.....i can honestly feel a difference all throughout with this....while researching this, i came across a site where a guy dynoed it and gained a solid 10rwhp and i believe it....oh, and the ford blue is good for about 5rwhp

told ya man, hell I felt the difference immediately. As far as yiou batteling your old fan I got the fan clutch wrench and hit it with a hammer to break it loose. Sorry this info didn't get to you sooner. And as far as the thru rad ties I have the metal brackets that hold mine up. They came in the kit along with the other style but I went with the brackets.
