    You might be able to make it work with a stock shroud, but I'd worry about it being flimsy and looking hackish.
    It would totally look hackish. The 90/91 shroud follows the exact contoured curve of the fan on the drivers side so the reservoir hugs the shroud really nicely whereas the stock 89 and down shroud look identical p. side and d.side with a cone shape to funnel the air to the engine. I dont see anyone adapting the coolant reservoir nicely to an 89 and down shroud.

      just looked at my fan shroud and it does seem to be symmetrical.. i'll just find one of those around here, the shipping on that would be nuts.

                Bad information above. my apologies...

                here is the good information:

                It would totally look hackish. The 1990 Town Car shroud follows the exact contoured curve of the fan on the drivers side so the reservoir hugs the shroud really nicely whereas the stock CV/GMQ 91 and down shroud looks identical p. side and d.side with a cone shape to funnel the air to the engine. I dont see anyone adapting the coolant reservoir nicely to a 91 and down shroud.

                  nah you would if the shroud in your car is the same as the one in mine. It might not look like it's the same on both sides but once you take the stupid whale-mouth looking air intake, you can tell it's the same (if not, pretty close).


                  I'm thinking shipping might be a bit outrageous on these, so chances are pretty good you can take these bits from Brandon if I don't.
