I will bring the fan to Tech Day with me along with my membership application and check. ��
I just swapped out the aluminum fan in a friends car to the six blade fan, and we didn't have to pull the radiator. we did remove the hood drain the radiator and loosen the top hose clamp and by popping off the brace rods we moved the radiator forward. no need to pull it off, just lean if forward a bit. it took us about 30 minutes to swap it in. I had rebuilt his water pump back to stock since someone had cut down the water pump impeller, when driving over a certain rpm his car would boil over. so we built a stock water pump with a leakless rear bearing so grease wouldn't get into the radiator and a 6 blade fan. it now runs ice cold
