I finally took the time to figure out how to remove the front radiator shell and grille. It wasn't too bad, just a matter of identifying which bolts had to be removed.
The existing electric fan is tiny....only about 13". I can comfortably fit an 18" fan. My question is which is better, installing the fan in front of the radiator, or behind?
My original thought was to do it in front, so that I could keep space clear behind for a future mechanical fan, if I could ever figure out a spacer and mounting solution. Otherwise, I think a pulling electric fan moves more air.
