thanks to everyone for the answers. as I see Dave, you have a 1500 and a
22" radiator. May be that is why you could install the fan as a puller.
I suppose it is not centered on the radiator leaving enough clearance
for the pulley?
I saw pictures about kenlowe fans, they seems quite thin. If I changed
the 16" to 22" radiator, may be I could also install a puller fan?
Otherwise, I will use a pusher.
What do you think about having a pusher alone, removing the standard
fan? Could it work? Doesn't obstruct the electric motor housing too much
the airflow? Any experience or theory?
The thing is that I absolutely need some additional cooling and I want
to chose between a fan or an oil cooler.

I have them on my 78 Spit with Koni's. They lower the front end of
the
car by about 1.5", no clearance problem with my 185/70 tires although
the ride is a little more stiff.

I don't know about a Kenlowe but I have put an Hayden 10.5" electric
fan into my car as a puller. I had to make up some brackets to mount
the fan. It works very well and it keeps the engine cool during the
hotest Montreal summer days. Here are some pictures and it you look
closely you can see the painted blue springs in some of the pictures.
