Re: Question
not quite sure what you are asking. the early 124s series like 68s had a clutch fan. all the rest have been electric. All the factory fans are the same size, they just kept moving them from center to make room for bigger motors. The usual fan mod is to change to a volvo fan. specific models have a larger diameter and lower profile so they can be centered again. As far as enclosing the entire radiator in a shroud, there isnt enough space to really do that. all the fans do have a small shroud.

Yes, slightly taller, and slightly wider. However I've installed a 2L rad in a 1.8 body with no issues.
