My 35-893 would overheat during high speed runs. When we decided to restore the car and rebuild the engine, we discovered no matter what we did the cooling distribution tube would not come out. So, we did the pressure washer thing at every opening. We had the radiator rebuilt, and since the car would be getting A/C I installed a ‘54 water pump and a 7 blade fan from a later model Mopar v8. Had to cut it to 16 inches diameter as I remember but a simple job on a radial arm saw with a cut off wheel.

You wil have to probably machine the hub a bit to fit the water pump pulley and redrill the hole pattern to match. Not too difficult.

It made a great difference.
