i yanked my flex fan out of the car to put my new black magic fan in and the fan will NOT clear the radiator to the blower pulley.. it will hit the pulley. I never knew you cant run an electric fan with a blower?? wtf?? I have a ron davis aluminum radiator by the way. Any suggestions??

Can you mod the brackets (radiator) to move it forward a little?? Not sure how close you are. AS for the Radiator to blower pulley...I am lost. Do you mean that the space btwn the rad and the blower pulley is too narrow? (sorry NA guy here). Can you move the BM fan towards the over flow tank and get it to fit? Drill two new holes to move the expension tank a little more towards the battery area and move the fan that way too. Probably nothing you have not thought of by now.

I just got Zirgo twin-12s for mine. They're only 2-3/8" deep. Picked them up on eBay -->$110 to my door for the pair.

I had the same problem when installing one in my car with a novi 2000 charger. I ended up getting a ram charger dual electric fan with all relays, switches, etc prewired for 149. The fan fit perfect and cools like a blizzard. www.ramchargers.com

I run the Ramchargers Dual Fan too, its also close. But I need to set my Griffin Radiator some more back. You are running the 6 rib pulley setup right? If so, you shouldnt be having a problem. A pic would help out a lot man.

I have the fluidyne radiator and that thing is fat! I do agree though, the ram chargers fan is close to my charger pully.

nice work. for future reference, Mike is right - the slim profile of the dual Spals is nice for space contraints (blower).

is your new fan set up a dual fan?

I have the Mark VIII fan, i trimed the entire thing so the blade comes about 1/4" from the radiator. I took the rad brakects off, tried to angle the rad with the botom sitcking forward more...then put the brackets back on. I also had to rotate the fan from the way I had it before. The motor sits off to the upper drivers side of the water pump pulley, and just clears my stock Vortech crank pulley. i can't put a bigger crank pulley, or an 8-rib with the fan the way it is. i can do it if i wanted i think by fabbing custom rad brackets.
