Bob,
This sounds interesting. But I have to ask the obvious question: How far
forward, if any do these fans protrude past the end of the water pump
shaft?? Can you tell from the picture? Most of us with fatter-than-stock
radiators need the fan set back as far a possible. Even the famous Ford
6-blade leaves scarcely any room with my setup.
Thanks for you post,
Bob in San Diego
