I bought a Griffin direct fit 22" radiator for my Cuda and it fits in the car great. The problem I am having is the stock shroud 2998328 doesn't line up.  I'm was under the impression this radiator didn't use the fan shroud brackets...but maybe I'm wrong. I don't have them to check. 

Then I started looking at the dimensions for a stock shroud which I found on the Mancini page and they aren't matching up with my shroud.

Has anyone mounted a stock shroud with one of their radiators?

I plan to call Griffin tomorrow and check with them but something just seemed off.

Thanks!

my experience is that you line it up as best you can. I bought some of that
1/4 inch by 3/4 inch by 48 inch aluminum at home depot and made little
brackets to mount the shroud against my Howe aluminum radiator.

I just thought it was odd it didn't bolt right up and thought there might be a shroud that did fit.  Griffin was helpful but nothing they could really do.  Just going to make some adapters
