Real Steel! I wish I had real steel but I am committed to 'glass now. I wanted to ask about your plans for a radiator fan. Looking at where your crank pulley is through the empty radiator shell it looks essentially the same as my 350 in a Brookville frame. That puts the water pump shaft 8" or less above the bottom of the radiator (Walker 487-1 in my case) so even with a small 15" diameter fan, a shroud will not be able to cover the bottom of the radiator. The easy answer is to use an electric fan but that draws at least a surge of 70-80 amps on start up and maybe 30 amps while running. I am trying to figure out how to use just a mechanical fan, but I am wondering what your plans are for the fan in the hope that I can find a way to avoid the electric surge with a small 15" flex fan?
