I'm going to use my Black Magic Fan on my 31x19 Griffin...when I get it in...in about 2 1/2 weeks when I do my H/C/I swap (FTI)...I would think you could still use the stock one...with the radiator that is...

Are you talking about the 'nascar' series rad? if so, your stock fan will work, however you will have to trim your shroud in a few places for clearance (top rad hose) Also, your stock overflow cannot fit on the shroud because the lower hose output on the rad is in the way. I cut the bottom off my overflow, then resealed a new bottom on. Fits great now. I have since upgraded to the black magic electric fan which fits good and comes with a seperate bracket to secure your overflow - with it you could probably get away without cutting your overflow since the bracket will alow you to reposition it. Since the electric fan comes with it's own shroud - you wouldn't have to worry about trimming the stock shroud.
