How close, is to close for rad fans to water pump pulley space
I dealt with the same issues on my Barracuda. I talked to Cold Case about it and was told the same thing as they said above.... The only thing that would fit was twin 10" fans and a tight shroud. They warned me that the twin 10" on a 22" radiator would mean that less than half of the radiator would be open to flow, and the fans wouldn't pull enough air. I decided to drop the idea of electric fans and go back to mechanical.
I chose the same radiator you are using,.... mainly because all the Cold Case radiators had the overflow pointing to the driver side, and my overflow bottle could only fit on the passenger side.
I ordered a Champion 3 row and a plastic shroud. It took a little bit of tweaking to get it to fit properly, but turned out good. I then went FlowKooler high volume water pump, Milodon high flow thermostat, and a Derale 8000RPM flex fan with a short spacer to center it up properly in the shroud. Everything seems to be working MUCH better now and it seems to stay cool now! Here's some pictures of what I originally had from previous owner, and what I ended up with.
