Shroud for 26" ECP aluminum radiator?

What is everyone running for a shroud on the 26" ECP (engineered cooling products) aluminum radiator?  '69 charger with a big block.  I'm currently running a Ford Contour electric dual fan and am thinking about experimenting with a stock 7 blade fan and clutch.  But I want a shroud.  I don't have a stock or original shroud to try, so, if I buy one, I'd prefer to do it once, LOL.

I used a 1970 shroud, I think I had to drill the holes, its been awhile. I have the 7 blade flex fan.

I'm running a 70's E-body shroud.....fits very well....didn't have to drill or modify any holes

I'm curious on how the '70-73 B & E shroud fits, without it being able to have the flange that sticks out "over" the passenger side frame rail.  Like the '69, it has the flange that only bolts onto the top 2/3 of the passenger side bracket.  The 28" E-body shroud may be too big.  I suppose I could enlarge the notch I put in the passenger side frame rail "crimp/flange" so a shroud would fit.  Decided it was easier to put a notch in the body than cut off the bottom 1/3 of the ECP radiator bracket.

Like I said.....no modification at all....radiator is 26" from ECP....running same radiator & same e-body shroud on all 3 Chargers

The ONLY thing had to change was the fan clutch length.....the ECP radiator is much thicker than the stock radiators

I'm using a stock early 70s C body shroud. I had to trim the edges in a couple of spots to fit flush, but I was given the shroud for free so I'm not complaining.
