i have the same setup and have been searching it. looks like a dual fan set-up will be the only thing working or a single with the motor off-set... classic heartbeat has a dual fan set-up i was thinking about or making something like theres of my own. sorry no pics for you but i hope that helps

thanks for posting!!!! that fan setup looks to be the best . but i wonder how thick it is. it looks to be high rent though.

if you don't have an AC, you might be able to mount the fan in front of the radiator and wire it to push the air instead of pull.

This is what I'm running. Maybe it will work for you? No idea. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=216128

PS - I dunno if that shroud is made to fit on a 4-core. My radiator is a 3-core.

I am just about done with the A/C install in my truck. I just ordered the fan setup that Brothers has, Item: FS072DF, Price: $329.99

Detailed Description

Custom mounts to factory fan shroud locations. Fan shroud housing incorporates high-speed ram air bypass. High temperature resistant plastic with patented skewed fan blade technology. High efficiency and fully adjustable thermostatic sensor offers increased fuel economy & horsepower. Requires a 70 amp + alternator. You might not have had enough room for this set-up. I just ordered the fan and it should be here in a couple of days.

Here's the link if anyone's interested http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=FS072DF

I had a dual 11" spal set up in my 67 Chevelle, and it was running a decent temp ( a little over 1/2 on the gauge ) unless it was over 95 degrees. The fans fit nicely between the water pump, and was not a hassel to get out if need be. I was running a dual relay, and if I had it to do over I would try one of the SPAL fan controllers. I hear they are great, and simple to hook up. 3600 CFM If I remember

Hope you don't hit any major bumps with that setup - a lot of the mainstream ties that go through teh radiator fins like that will rip clear through.
