There is a far-flung possibility that I can repair this shroud by cutting-out the bad area and making a flush patch. That is called a "long shot" but worth a try. Can anybody tell me how it is mounted to the manifold? Maybe even a picture? Surely it is not secured with the manifold bolts...

Excellent !!! Thanks a bunch !!! If I had the press molds to make these things I could make a fortune. Roy

1973 Mustang 351C 2V  Code H Hi All;      This thing is called by several names.  Pre-Heat Shroud, Exhaust shield....... It pre-heats inlet air before it goes into the Air Filter. Does anybody know the part # or even the orthodox name ? Also, where can I find one that doesn't cost like the...

'73 Tang, 351 Cleveland 2V.    Hi all There are two ducts that go to the air cleaner.  One is plastic (rectangular) and the other is round aluminium. Where can I find replacements?   The plastic one looks a lot like a "Crown Automotive J323 1980 Air Intake Tube"  but there is no mention of it...

I bought the new shroud from Summit.  NOPE !!!   STILL scrapes.  I don't know if they will let me return it but it definitely will NOT work. This is the fan shroud from HELL !!!

I think I have sorted-out the lion's share of the Vac hoses. The Tranny still waits until a high RPM before it shifts. However, when I connect the distributor vac hose, the engine spits and sputters and runs very rough. When I cap it and the hose off it runs real good. Anybody have any ideas...

My 351C is a 2V. I am getting closer to getting them all sorted but still have no lines going to the Dist.Modulator valve (it has only 2 ports) and the EGR connection.

Ugh !!! Just when I think I have gotten some of this sorted-out, today the engine started running rough and spitting. also the transmission changes gear very late (high RPM). I had to disconnect and plug the distributor Vac hose for it to run good enough to go get fuel.

I knew there was something I forgot to add. It is a '73  351 Cleveland 2V. There are a boat load of Vac lines.  Whew !! I think I have found where it Physically is attached to the engine. If I am right, it mounts to one of the valve cover bolts. There is one bolt (not at correct location)...

G'day all     I found the DMV in the boot but can't for the life of me remember where it mounts.  There are two wires that look like they connect at the Aft, Right side of the engine (Pax side).       Also where do the vacuum lines go? Ugh !!!  This Vac line installation is a pain. TNX Roy

Hi All      I have an old '73 Tang, 351 Cleveland, 2V code H. It's running.  Just got some 1/8" hose delivered today. I have a schematic but it is worthless.  There were a lot more vac hoses than this thing shows. Can anybody suggest a good vacuum diagram?

Hi Jason;     thank you so much but I am trying to keep original engine and tranny.   Thanks for the information on the code "X".  You know your stuff.    Roy

It looks like getting the right engine mounts and perches is going to take some time. I am thinking the smaller fan will be a good interim solution.

1973 'Tang. 351C 2V Hi All;     I finally got the old girl out of the garage (on her own power).  Went thru the recommended break-in proceedure and so far things look good. The Tranny has been sitting for years and it was out of fluid. After servicing, I drove thru the hood and it will not...

I agree.  I thought it looked like it needed to rotate 180 degrees but it is really wrong when I tried to rotate it. It should fit a lot better that this.    The problem is, the old pipe I took off may not have been right either. I have been looking for a detailed pic of one that is...

I am asking the age-old mechanic's question: "what did I go wrong?" 351 Cleveland 2V.   Everything new from the heads to the muffler. New heads (1of them) manifolds (1 of them), "Y" pipe, exhaust pipe and muffler The old muffle hung low also but not this bad. I adjusted the "Y" pipe and it...

I have new pipes that are 2 1/4". Haven't bought the Flowmaster yet. can't find data on the size of the inlet. Is the Flowmaster a direct fit? I don't want to put any adapters on it.

I am getting close on getting the '73 Tang on the street. I was going to try to stay "stock" all the way but I am very tempted to install a Flowmaster. From various I am looking for a "cool" sound but not offensive. TNX Roy

Fixing this low engine prob is turning into a major undertaking. Bottom Line:  What is my best approach to getting the fan to fit in the shroud? TNX    :thankyouyellow:

The old advertising slogan used to be "Ford has a better idea".  These changes to the 1973 engine mounts is NOT one of those "better idea".
