There is one problem with installing an electric pusher fan, that is that you're just masking whatever the original source of the problem is, and it's still there. Kind of like taking a Darvocet after you sprain your back splitting firewood, so you can go back to the woodpile and whack away some more.

You really need to get to the root cause of the problem. As to a better fan, I mentioned before about the Custom 8 (356) fan; I don't know if they fit the hub (think so) and have enough clearance at the sides (356 radiator is larger), but they have 5 blades and move a bit more air. Won't be easy to find one though, but occasionally I've seen them on eBay.
