Due to only having 1" between my radiator and water pump pulley, I've tried a number of "plan B" cooling setups with no luck, and am slowly resigning myself to a less than desirable option - relocating the radiator forward to create some room. MY preference is to install an electric fan, so I'm getting full CFM even at idle, but I'm open to any configuration that will net me at min. of 4000 CFM. Motor is an FHO 572" Hemi in a 72' Dodge Dart.
Before I relocate the radiator, I'm looking at a couple options not knowing if they're even feasible:
1.I'm currently am running a March pulley deluxe system, and am looking at other pulley system mfgs to see if I can find another set up which is shorter in depth to try and create some room. I've found CV Products and Jones Racing Products - any other mfg suggestions? (While this may help, this won't solve the problem).
2. Custom built mechanical fan. Assuming there a shop that build a custom fan, if I could find one (have one made) that has a blade leading edge no farther forward than the mounting center plate, there is enough room for the fins to sweep back behind that line without hitting the PS pump, etc. I have not found a single shop that can custom build a fan. Any suggestions are appreciated.
If there are any other options I'm all ears. I'm working with 10lbs in a 5lbs bag, so I'm not surprised I've come up against this, just through the solving would be easier.
Thanks in advance....
