[Mgs] Best Electric Cooling Fan for MGA

[Wilkmanracing at aol.com]

I just had the engine on my 1960 MGA rebuilt by a reputable British car  
machine shop.  Before the rebuild, it would run 190 degrees to 200 plus on  hot 
days.  I figured the rebuild, which included a thorough block and head  
cleaning, would tame these numbers.  While breaking in the cam in the  garage with a 
huge floor fan pushing air toward the engine, it experienced the  same 
pre-rebuild temps.  So, I had the radiator recored.  But it still  runs at the same 
temps on the road.  I'm thinking of adding an electric  cooling fan, but I've 
always been bothered by the huge, flat motors on most of  these, that would seem 
to block air flow to a portion of the radiator.   Does anyone have a 
recommendation as to a brand/model of electric fan that  would work well on an MGA?  
Due to the limited space between the radiator  and engine, the fan has to be 
placed in the "pusher" position on the front of  the rad.  
 
TIA
