Will a 15 inch hayden flex fan work?
 
I noticed the orielys website said not to be used with an engine 250 cid or bigger I have a 305 sbc.I cant go any bigger than 15 inches because it will hit my transmission cooler lines.

I put an 18" fan on mine and it just fits the shroud. If you're gonna be driving that thing around Oakdale CA during summer, I'm thinking it better to re-route the tranny lines and get a bigger fan. Hayden fans seems to carry that warning. Mine did too, but I ignored it. I ultamely went with a clutch fan. There are too many horror stories of flex fans pitching a blade when the rivets give out. Many of those stories can be found right here on this site.

You will have to have a shroud on that one...Central Valley Summers are brutal and if you get stuck in traffic, the shroud will be imperative!

That looks great! Does it have the probe that goes in the coolant or through fins of radiator?

I set mine to piggyback off temperature gauge sensor next to water neck on manifold.

I don't think I will use the hayden fan.If I go that route I will purchase a flexalite fan and one of their spacers.Whats the best way to wire an electric fan?I have converted my truck over to the one wire altenator.
