    Wit a push fan on the front of the radiator, you're effectively blocking off most of the airflow. An electric fan needs to be mounted behind the radiator pulling air through.

    With a proper shroud, you'd probably get enough airflow with the mechanical fan. However, you DO need a shroud. Otherwise, the fan does no good. Another thing to consider . . . most new cars have electric fans.
