Hey fellas, 
Let me elaborate on this just a hair... to add a bit more detail to Frank's  
info, it IS for a 61, but it would be a 61 CAR engine, since the FC doesn't 
have  the dip stick hole... unless it's a 62-65 FC top shroud (with one hole for 
the  PCV system), but the dip stick hole wouldn't be on the FC shrouds...
:-)
But I'm with Frank on this...
The 60 & 61 bottom shrouds have a hole in the right one, for that  road draft 
tube to poke through...
Hope this helps!
Lonzo

It is  for 1961. The 1960 shroud has a thermostat mounting area for the 
one  thermostat that controls the fan intake, IIRC.

The 60 and 61 have no  PCV system, just a road draft tube, so no hole in 
the shroud for the  crankcase vent tube. This is, however, the reason the 
cylinder baffles are  not symetric on earlies (and maybe lates also), as 
there is a large hole  in the right baffle for the draft tube style 
crankcase vent.

Did  this come off the 61 Rampside you are parting out?
