Tight Clearance Fan Blade what are you using?
I'm getting ready to drop my BBC into my truck.
I have an alum. 4 core rad. I need a fan that is light & works well in tight clearance situations. My set up is 4x4 1975 Frame w/ 65 GMC body. No room for a clutch fan, so what ever fan I use will have to be light. I'm not worried about losing power or gas milage. {Pulling Truck} |

Re: Tight Clearance Fan Blade what are you using?
I used a Flex-a-lite Black majik flx-180 from summit in my Durango and the dimensions work well for stock radiator so that's what I plan on next. 3300cfm. Pictures on cardomain under lvphotos on the Durango.
You should have more room up front or are your mounts way forward? I have 3" spacer on fan and still have 3" more from fan to radiator.

I doubt I have 1 inch. More like a half an inch.

Re: Tight Clearance Fan Blade what are you using?
I use the same fan as LVPhotos (Black Magic - 3300 cfm). I have a small block, but moved the motor up so it was closer to the radiator (I have a 3 row alum). I also had to go with a short water pump. Had to buy new pulleys to make it work. With this setup, I have about an 1" left.
You may have to do the same with your water pump and pulley setup
