Fan Blade elimination on slant 6

If you have the solid mount fan, there are benefits from switching to an electric fan. Quicker throttle response, quicker warm up, and less drag on the engine at hwy speeds.
Find a dual fan setup out a salvage yard. Just make sure the shroud fits your radiator or modify it to fit.
You'll also need a adjustable temp fan controller.
You'll also need shorter bolts for water pump pulley. It's not that hard to do and in my opinion, well worth it.
Summit has way better prices on fans than your local parts store, but personally I'd only go that route if you can't find exactly what you need at the yard
The only reason I suggest a dual fan setup is that there isn't a whole lot of space between the water pump pulley and the radiator and it may be easier to get a dual fan setup to fit.

Are you having overheating issues now?
