    Electric fan

    I know some of you have been running mechanical fans but i dont seem to have enough room for one.
    I'm using the m42 radiator an theres only like 1 1/2 between the thermo housing and the radiator so i was just going to run and electric fan pusher. Wondering if that'll be enough air to keep it cool or maybe i can fit a mechanical fan in there but i dont have one to try it out, i just thought that seemed too tight. Any advice?

      I've got a 14-inch pusher fan in front of my m42 radiator on my m52 engine. It's hooked up to the original fan wiring as posted in the thread linked above. It will keep the temp normal on a hot day idling in traffic. It usually only ever comes on when it's hot and sitting/idling.
