So yea bought a X-Treme Black Magic E-Fan from Flex-A-Lite (3,300cfm, limited amp draw, full shroud bla bla bla) and had to put it on my fluidyne radiator for the yellow 89 t2.
Unfortunately the fan is like 4" thick at its biggest point, so the necks of the radiator had to be extended a bit to be able to fit the fan under them. Best part is that it covers the entire core, it fits like a glove other then the whole neck thing.
So brought it to a local aluminum welder (i dont trust myself welding aluminum, let enough a radiator). Once he was done i brought it back to my shop and had to fab up some mounting brackets for it, and then it was ready to go.
So here's the only pic my phone decided to mail me, this sunday ill be getting tons of pics of the car and more of this rad setup.
The fan pulls like a **********er.

yea... but when that bitch kicks on its prob. going to look like you're bumping a couple of fifteen inchers in the back haha... (with out a capacitor that is) ... should be a nice set up though... just be sure it does not keep temps too cool
