I've done some looking, but can't seem to find exactly what I need. I have a 351W installed to a 68 stock sized custom 3 row radiator. The lower inlet is on the driver's side and the upper outlet is on the passenger's side. The shrouds I see have both on one side or the other. Where to look for something that might fit?

What is the width of the radiator?
Is this your radiator?
If so, this shroud would fit above radiator:

I think TimC has you covered if you have the wide radiator.

No you do not want the BIG BLOCK fan shroud!
You want the 70 small block shroud. There is one for the 20” wide radiator and one for the 24” radiator

No, that isn't it. I took the original 68 6 cylinder radiator and had a new one custom made to those dimensions except it is a 3 row instead of the original one or two (I can't remember which). I've never had an overheating problem except one time where I drove 100 miles then got off the highway and got into a parade with outside temp of 100 degrees. It got hot and stalled and was hard to restart until it cooled down.

MS, that 20" figure sounds familiar and maybe that might work. It has the upper hose cutout on the correct side, and although I can't see the full view of the shroud, I am assuming that the other side is configured correctly for the lower hose. I will have to measure my fan to see how much clearance I have. Thanks.

In 1970, the lower hose moved from the passenger side to the driver side.

I can sit in stop and go traffic all day long and never have an overheating problem. I have a high performance 351 windsor with the correct cooling set-up thanks to Mustang Steve.

Me too.
No problems even in 100* heat in traffic. 6 blade '70 fan, 4 row copper radiator, no shroud. I just had it rebuilt. The first time on over 20 years. It goes in tomorrow.
