Dog house fan shroud

[mangorockfish]

I have a '70 bug that I want to replace the stock fan shroud with the rounded dog house style.  What changes will I have to make to do this?  Will my fan fit this and will I have to change my stock cooler.  Also, what is the best remote oil filter set-up?

The 36hp style shrouds with doghouse cooler provision will fit all your stock parts, sometimes they need a little trimming down the bottom where they touch the case to get them to fit nice

Are you tapping the case for full flow oil set up? that's the best way to fit a oil filter

Can I please ask a question on these fan shrouds Ritchie?

I have read (no, I don't believe everything I read, but......... ) that removing the oil cooler out of a rounded 36HP shroud upsets the airflow distribution between the cylinders, causing localised hotspots. I've also read that it doesn't! 

Since I intend to not use the stock doghouse cooler for one reason or other, could I use a 36HP fan shroud WITHOUT any internal cooler and get even airflow distribution?
Have you had to do any added tricks to make them work effectively, or just bolted them up?

I am using aftermarket  Scat 36hp "style shrouds"  that are designed to not have an oil cooler in them, they have a cutout in the back to run the hoses out to a remote cooler from the factory cooler location via an adapter.

They also take the wider late fan

I have never tried doing this with a factory 36hp shroud
