Calling On The Cooling Gods

There are a few companies that make shroud/fan combos specifically for the Champion radiators. For the EC374 I have, I bought these two kits off of eBay:

ALUMINUM RADIATOR FAN SHROUD FITS CHAMPION CC374 MC374 EC374 AE374 W/ 12" FANS
Dual Electric Cooling Fan Wiring Install Kit 185/165 Thermostat 50 Amp Relay

The shroud itself holds the fans off the radiator about an inch. Then the fans at their center are about 2.5" thick. The fans sit side by side and are only about 1.5" tall near their edges so toward the center of the shroud/fan combo you should have good clearance.
