Well I have a FMS 3 row with a Paxton crank pulley and a Proform e-fan. I literally have an 1/8" of an inch clearance. So obviously I need to switch it up. I was thinking of taking the rubber seal of the shroud to free up some more room but don't wanna wreck it if it's not going to work.
FWIW i run a "ramcharger" fan, its actually an intrepid fan.
i got on ebay and search up dodge intrepid electric fans, IIRC the years 98-04 are the years to get. i got a brand new aftermarket fan for 100 bucks, its a dual fan, and with a little trimming it it fits over the radiator nicely.
it cools nicely, doesnt even have to use the fan at 100% to cool the car. i use a DCC fan controller and the fan doesnt even have to work very hard to cool the car.
so far the fan has worked great.
heres a pic
DEFINATLY upgrade the alternator, upgraded alternators on my car when i did the e-fan swap. i ended up using a new alternator from the parts store for a 94-95 mustang GT, the case is slightly larger and the stock alt bracket needs a little grinding to get the alt to fit right, plus the upper ear isnt threaded like on a fox alt. all you need to do there is simply get a bolt and nut.
