Re: mechanical fan woes

This might be the simple option but I would call and ask if it will work with your engine. Fan shouldn't stick out much more than a half inch from the hub. They do make noise though. [url]https://www.flex-a-lite.com/belt-driven-fans/15-inch-reverse-rotation-race-fan.html[/url

If the 15 inch fan clears the lower radiator hose. On a V8 that may not be an issue it was on my 250 six.

You can run a spacer that allows the fan blades to clear the pulleys and still clear he radiator with room to spare.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
