Tom;
My Tiger has a 2 5/8" thick alloy rad installed with an electric fan mounted
on the forward side of the rad. I have a water pump-mounted fan that has the
blades rearward of the fan mounting flange, so it takes up no clearance
beyond the bolts holding the fan on the flange.
No overheating issues with this set-up...331ci stroked 289. 317hp/350 ft lb
torque.
Photos available if you'd like.
