I'll take a look at a couple of smaller fans. I'm not married to the electric fan route but the engine is too low for a mechanical fan and too close to radiator. I'm using a short water pump but I wish it was shorter. Too bad a dyson fan can't be used. The distributer is close to the firewall now so can't move engine. I just looked at it and I think I will fabricate a bar that bolts on at the headlight bolts and curves out around the grill shell then cut the center part of the old bar out so I don't have to disturb the fenders. Its always a problem putting a v8 in a model A without cutting the firewall. I'm excited about the new radiator. It was $199 with free shipping and the shipped it already. I'm wondering if I can make a couple of filler strips to mount to the radiator shell that the hood can sit on. That way I can use the original hood without legthening it.
This is what it will look like with lower radiator and hood.
