Hey guys, can anyone recommend me a specific new electric fan that will bolt in without any other mods to replace the belt driven stock model on my 383 67? It looks like a really great way to get back some BHP without breaking the bank. Presume plenty of you have done this already as I play catch up
 
Measure available clearance between water pump pulley and radiator and hit the internet shopping scene.

I run one of these in a 16" version. Quiet, low electrical draw, easy to mount ( with a shroud), shallow and very capable. Had a Spal but it winned too much and drew 45 amps on start up. I only bought the fan and picked up my own relay but you're probably better with a kit. My engine is a 512 stroker.

Aftermarket is custom, trying to find a quick fix won't work out. but measure the distance from the rad to the pump pulley face. some fan motors stick out more than others there are fans out there that have lower motor profiles just search for them. I run 2 12" fans for about a total of 3500 cfm pull
