I second that, and the masked problem, if solved, will let you sleep better at night. Also, a pusher fan is not as effective as a puller fan, and it can actually block some airflow on the highway that would naturally be there.


One of the worst looking thing on a 30's hot rod, in my opinion, is an out of place electric fan you can see from the outside through the grille. If i was going to convert to an electric fan, i'd buy a nice pusher dual fan setup with a nice shroud spaced back from the radiator about 1-2" and eliminate my stock fan altogether. But if i'm going crazy making changes, changing fans is pretty far down on my list. After tranny swap, AC, etc.
