dog house fan shroud

#1 Post by Mark Schumacher »

Thought this might be a good place to ask the question. Has anyone used a 36HP dog house fan shroud on a 356/912 engine? Seems like it might work with the throttle changed to a cable.

I believe that the linkage would interfere. You would probably have to notch the body as well to get get the exhaust piece (for the cooler) in there. That hot air has to go somewhere.

I thought the 36hp shroud was the small one and the larger one with the oil cooler in the back was the dog house. The 36hp is about the same as the 356 shroud and will fit with a little modification. The larger dog house cannot be used with dual carbs very easily. Empi does make a 36hp shroud that has the oil cooler in the rear.
