[QUOTE="TreeClimber, post: 939570, member: 16101"] In my 401 YJ, I bought the Advance Adapters aluminum conversion radiator that they sell. It was designed for their motor mounts (which I didn't use). Anyhow, when I installed it, my fan that I wanted to use hit the lower radiator hose, so I trimmed it to size. Ran it like that for a good solid 3 or 4 years, including lots of 3 and 4000 rpm stuff, with the trimmed fan. Never experienced a problem with water pumps (but still didn't cool as much as I liked). Eventually, I took the radiator to get the lower hose location moved even lower so I could run a factory (uncut) fan. With this one, I very [I]very very [/I]carefully scribed an line using the original edge as a guide. I used my old geometry protractor thingie (I dunno what it's called anymore, but it's like those things old sailers used on maps - two pointed widgets that are held apart by a screw). And the pics you saw of the fan was not the fan I'm using. It was just an extra fan I had lying around that I could quick cut for mock up. Here's a pic of the real fan (after trimming) and the shroud. [/QUOTE]
