Have my 8BA with Super Dual intake back in my '40. Am now working on the fan issue. I have tried what I thought was a '42-'48 fan assembly, but turned out to be a '49 assembly which has an 18" fan. Definitely no clearance with the upper hoses !! I have a '42-'48 oil hub assembly, but no fan. Has anyone out there run a '42-'46 assembly with stock 16" fan and had clearance with the upper hoses with a 8BA in a '40? Does any know where I could purchase a replacement fan ? What are other options, if any ? An electric fan is really the last resort. I do know about the crank mounted option that other members here done.
