[QUOTE="hlb3, post: 1537311, member: 16592"] So my current project was going to be installing an electric fan. I've got a direct drive flex fan on there now, but I'm tired of the thing sounding like a Cessna getting ready to take off while I'm running down the trail. When I was driving around in the feild it was so loud I couldn't hear Leia when she was trying to talk to me while driving. I grabbed a Volvo e-fan from the wrecking yard today. There is only like 2.75" from the radiator to the snout of the water pump and it is right in the middle of the radiator. I thought I could manage to make it work, but no matter where I tried it I could only get 3/4 of the fan on the radiator. I did some looking around on Mud, looks like if I swap in a waterpump and pulley from a later model that had a fan clutch I could gain almost an inch of clearance. I found a waterpump on RockAuto for $20, the pulley will be the hard part. Used ones are hard to find, I found a company that makes new ones, but they are like $65. So I'm not sure if I'll do it or not. [/QUOTE]
