1951 Chevy pickup 350 cid & 700R-4 with Walker Cobra radiator. I thought I had enough room between engine and rad to keep the mechanical fan. However with air and the serpentine belt system the blade is about a half inch too close. Someone recommended a Taurus 2 speed fan and I bought one on Ebay. I wanted to use it as a pull but when fitting it I find it won't fit between the rad and motor. Does anyone know of a thin fan that might fit?
Have you considered mounting it as a pusher fan? I use one on my 53 and it works great. Still have the water pump mounted fan but the electric is there as a backup.
Pictures available ? Federale Would it be possable for you to post some pics of this combined solution? Thanks.
I put a pusher in mine as well due to lack of clearance. I don't have any pictures handy, but it fit easily between the diagonal braces and the rad frame. I had to weld little tabs to the rad frame to bolt it to.
Here is the best I can do,Martinius. Its too dark at 1:45 am to take a pic LOL Position the fan on front or on the back of your radiator depending whether you want to use as a pusher or puller and wire accordingly. This kit makes it super easy to mount. http://www.siliconeintakes.com/product_info.php?cPath=15&products_id=1003
