You can get 90* trans fittings that will clear the fan, but I chose to install a remote cooler up front instead.

the second is the kind that covers the core so that ALL the air is routed through the fan. I have guys do that with electric fans but mostly see it on mechanical fans that never stop turning.
I'm surprised I don't see more guys using Zips elevated water pumps that center the fan on the radiator. Model A and Deuce owners use them alot, AD trucks seem like a perfect application.
