Hi, I'm doing some modifications on my 91 fox and it looks like I'm going to have a hard time finding room for a puller fan or should on the back side of the radiator. I'm sort of looking for a cure a head of time just in case this
happens. I was looking and it looks like with a little help from the saws all
I might be able to get a pusher fan in front of the radiator and air conditioning
condenser core. has anyone done this?
Looking for tips on installing a pusher in the front,, Help?
 
i put one on my car with the stock clutch fan and it didnt work any better than the stock setup.

What setup are you running that you are that tight for space?
 
On a street car that sees hot weather, at most you'd only want to use a pusher to help augment a full-sized puller fan.

Can you use a pair of slim fans [like Spals]?
 
Im not sure why you have a clearance issue but, here is a pic of my electric fan mounted directly to the rad as a puller. Its out of a mark VIII from the junkyard. about $10 & a couple brackets from Lowes. electric fan.webp
 
I'm thinking of running a different supercharger and it has a independent belt
that runs in front of the other belt and pulleys. I might be able to get two
smaller fans in just the right spot but I'm not sure about the brackets and
I don't like those things that go through the radiator.
So I'm looking at the option of running a pusher in the front. I was looking
at the space and a little work with a saws all it looks like I could get something in the front.I ran a lincoln fan as a puller before and that was a great fan. Do you know if will one of those run backwards if hooked it up backwards? or can the blade be turned around?
