what size fan can you run with the factory or aftermarket shroud?the shruod on my is not off a bronco i think because it is turned upside down and will only work with a 15 inch fan.i am also changing the water pump at this time what should i go with?orealliys has a edelbrock avaliable but the only thing local is stock.

I've got a 17" fixed blade with my 351W and 4-core...things are good 'till I crawl around in 90+ degrees for too long then I end up at about 210. I'm thinking about adding an electric pusher....All of this is BCBroncos stuff:)

If you get the correct shroud and dont have a body lift you should be able to run a 17 or 18" fan with no problems I believe I used a 18" fan and still had 1" of clearance all the way around the fan so I'm good if the body flexes or the engine torques. If your going through deep mud/ water than a electric fan may be a good choice as you can shut it off for the crossing and not drown your engine. As for water pumps I've never had a problem with the stock pump I crawl in 100+ degree heat and it doesnt go above 190. I also use a BC HD 3 row radiator. but I never had cooling problems with the stock 3 row either.
