Re: Can I add a pusher fan to stock set-up?

Correct factory placement (this is a heavy duty 4 row, 7 blade clutch fan set up):



Exactly this, I saw where the OP mentioned his fan was way deep into the shroud, it needs to be out of the shroud some or it's not going to do you any good, as you've found out. I bet if you pick up the right shroud and have the correct fan and clutch for what you're doing your issues will be solved. Also get that timing checked and make sure you're not running a little lean on the carb settings, that will cause it to run hotter as well.
