Electric fans

What's the thinnest electric fan system you've seen Pretty tight between the grill support and the condenser on a 67 GTX
 
The thinnest I have seen is inch. Made by espar look them up on Google. They have lots of choices to pick from and pricing not bad.
 
Another thing... if Bearman is talking about his '64 B, there's not a whole lot of room to run a clutch fan. The engine to radiator distance is tight.
 
Ok my 2 cents worth on electric fans . I have lived in N.C. and in Tucson AZ. I am still building my 65 afx Coronet with a Hemi . When living in N.C. I built 2 cars that both used electric fans . I used them because of space limitations in the engine compartment . A 1941 Willys coupe with a wormed over small block and a 1972 Dodge Colt with a blown 440 . I wired both to toggle switches that I could cut off and on when needed . The Willys would run on the open road with out the fans on and was only needed when in traffic . The colt ran all the time . I drove the Willys across country 5000 plus miles with no problems . I was in Tucson one day in town and forgot to turn the fans on . It got up to 230 degrees , switched on the fans and it came down to 185 in about a mile of driving . This car had ac . the colt did not . My 65 car will be using a 31x19 two tube aluminum radiator . It has 2 12 inch Spal fans that are rated a 1368 cfm each mounted on a full aluminum shroud . I will use a high volume water pump and a 185 degree thermostat . I will use the correct Relays that Spat recommends and will control them with a manual switch . I have included a few pics of the Colt and 65 set up . I know this post asks about electric fans and with ac but space limits what you can run in your cars . As you can see the Colt set up was TIGHT as Hell . 2 small fans radiator and trans cooler . Had to grind the lower side of the grill to get it to clear everything . Had to turn the blower belt sideways to get it off .Hope this helps John
