My question, which way do they point? Depending on which side you put them on they either locate the engine a little forward of the mounting location on the chassis, or behind it.

The reason I am asking is I am installing an aluminum radiator in a 1900 and there is no room between it and the engine for the pulley and fan. If I swap the mounts I can move the engine back a bit, maybe 2 inches, which would do the job, but then the shifter moves back and also the transmission mount.

Engine forward is original and correct.

Well then, I have a problem.

I ran into the same issue with the Manta I'm working on. I ended up using 2, 7-inch fans.
If you use 2 t-stats, you can set it so only one comes on at temp and set the other a little higher.

Thanks. I think that's what we'll end up doing. Do you happen to remember where you got your fans, and model?

Amazon. I had the relay and t-stat.

That's a hell of a price for two. On Summitt Racing they are $80-90 each. Have yours been reliable?

I use the type of thermostat that screws into a bung in the radiator. It has a fixed temperature setting, but that's fine with me.

Also, the first thermostat failed before long. I replaced it, and now I also have a switch I can use to override the thermostat.

For Craig's car, I'm thinking of using the thermostat for one fan, set for the higher temperature range, and having the other fan always on.
