Options for editing factory fan shroud for vortech set ups? Car has an upgraded thicker radiator (was installed before I owned the car)

Car is currently a 6 rib set up.. 8 rib set up is in the mail..

Really would like to avoid dropping a lot of coin on a e-fan set up.

Get out the death wheel and make some surgical alterations if it's only the shroud that's in the way.

I'm not a huge fan of E-fans. None move more air than the old style OEM clutch fan.

Like Noobz said should be able to "clearance" the shroud.

As suggested I brought out the death wheel made some clearances. Now I'm able to put my factory overflow tank back on.

Thanks all
