Thanks Fred,
I am in tinker mode on this and want to see what a TR3 extension... that I got
from lister... and the 8-blade plastic fan facing forward will do.
My car's cooling works perfectly... even going slow in a July 4th parade for
45 minutes in 90 degree weather. My concern is not cooling... but the
harmonic vibration and HP loss of running the fan at higher RPMs. My goal is
to lower the mass that is attached to the end of the crank.
