Duh: I meant puller fans, i.e., twin spal 11 inch fans mounted inside the engine bay and on the inside of the radiator, not on the outside. With this set up you would eliminate the clutch fan. You would have two spal fans with built in shrouds. This should fit in the 67 Chevelle Malibu, right ?

You wrote this regarding mounting of two Spal 11 inch fans on PRC aluminum radiator.
The dual 11" Spals are 23.46" wide, as Dale points out in hisreplybelow. You cannot mount those fans on that radiator because of interference from the tanks on either side. Go ahead and ask PRC to build you
