Electric Cooling Fan
Just put in a new aluminum radiator, thanks jfaplanet. Need to install electric coolin fan. The clutch fan will not fit with the new radiator. Really would would like to install pusher fan in front of radiator. If anyone has done this please chime in, if not i need to know what CFM i should look for.

Sparky...what are the differences of mounting the electric fan in front of vs. behind the radiator? Isn't the fan mounted in back of the radiator coming from the factory?

I think mounting the radiator in front of the radiator is a cleaner look. Factory is behind it. Most people i've spoken too believe that behing the rad, or puller, is better than in front, pusher. I've been looking and movng towards 2 10" fans mounted in front of the rad with adjustable thermostat relay control.
Would really lie to hear from someone that has mounted fans in front of the radiator in a REPU.

My fan is mounted in front of the AC condenser. Works fine, with a thermostatic controller to have it come on when the temp gets too high. I think its just a matter of personal preference. I think it looks cleaner.
