Re: Installing pusher fan?

Also note that installing a pusher fane on the 55-56 Packards presents a problem. THere is a CROSS BRACE on the horse collar that does not allow the pusher to fit up CLOSE to the radiator thus greatly reducing the pusher fans affectivelness. U can always cut the cross brace away but I sure as hell won't cut the brace.

If u want to put some effort into something that will WORK then come up with a FAN SHROUD for the existing Packard fan and a 6 blade fan.

I have a 6 blade on mine that i bought at a discount chain but it required some machining to the hub (that came with the fan) to mount to the Packard pump.

The pusher fan is just a Q&D hot rod application. Something for waiting at the line up to run the 1/4 mile drag strip with.
