Fan room issues

[Broncobeast69]

I have a 76 Bronco that I just converted to a 351W and set up with the RAB Performance Serpentine setup. I only have 2.5" between the radiator and the water pump. What is the best fan option? The stock fan will not fit. I have looked at electric options, but I have not found any thin enough that put out a high CFM. Thanks for your help.

How many CFM does it push, and are you having any overheating issues?

Common issue. One of the reasons the explorer front drive is so popular.

Since you already have an aftermarket accessory drive and are now looking at electric fans. Delta PAG. That is about the only aftermarket fan that really works.

As for CFM ratings, they are usually nothing useful. Mainly marketing hype. Few fans actually pull those numbers once a radiator is placed in front of them. Wattage is what really moves air. Be prepared for a fan that draws lots of amps if you want it to actually cool the engine.

Speaking form a 74 perspective, The stock radiator mounting leans the radiator towards the engine vs. being straight up and down. I reconfigured the upper mounts so the radiator no longer leans. That gave me room for this fan https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/high-...yitUKLNRDw1BCDCHYMhR_p2Z-42mscU0PIcV_DmL_RFGk
