Yeah I have chrysler fans in mine. They were brand
new units in a chrysler box that I put in. They fit the radiator nearly
perfectly. The bad part is they don't move enough air for 100*+ temps here
and that's without the AC on. Course my engine runs on the lean side cause
of programming and easily runs hot.
I have really thought for mine anyway going with a heavy duty
clutch and 7 blade fan and selling my elec fan. Would probably work great
for you where you are but not here and with how my engine runs.
