Long story short, I changed to a clutch fan on my 68 Road Runner (383) and now it starts to overheat if I idle around too much. I know I could try to get a fan shroud that fits and maybe a bigger radiator, etc. But I like the way it looks under the hood now and don’t want to change it.
I just want to add a thermostatically controlled electric fan in ‘front’ of the radiator. That should more than take care of the heating problem and allow me to keep the stock looking engine bay (in back of the radiator support). But I noticed the radiator fins (in front) are in set back from the radiator core support about 2.5 inches. So I’m not sure which elect fan I can buy that can mount in front of the radiator and yet set back a couple inches to be closer to the radiator fins.
Has anybody encountered this before and do you know if they make electric fans for ‘in set’ mounting to the front of the radiator? Which manufacture is best? As always, huge thanks for any help and advice. RRDon
