here in California's desert i suffer over heating during stop and go traffi=
c in =
the summer. driving has always been fine.
i have been running an old, unknown CFM, 10" electric fan.
i bought a nice big 14" spal 1720cfm electric fan. made a great mounting br=
acket =
on the old beat up radiator. but, whoops the fan is too fat in the middle (=

me) and interferes with the tube that bolts across the strut towers. 3 3/8"=
fan =
height Vs 3" tube to radiator distance. DOH!
so lots of questions:
has any one found a high volume 13" fan that fits? =
has anyone ever fabricated a shroud for their fan?
seems to me that shrouding off 50% of the radiator kinda kills the idea. i =

all of the fan area's air=A0is forced thought the fan hole in the shroud at =

area and shrouded area.
any one played with=A0this?
thanks
