I did not want to cut the radiator support and move the radiator but it was necessary to fit the Chevy HHR fan and shroud. I had originally had two Spal 10 inch fans with no shroud and the Jeg's radiator in the stock location but it ran hot and would overheat. I did some research and found out the HHR fan comes with a shroud, moves plenty of air and can be bought brand new from Rock Auto for $47. I custom fabbed up mounts to attach the fan and shroud to the radiator. The HHR deal is thicker than the Spal fans so I had to either go with a low profile electric water pump or cut the support and recess the radiator into it, so that's what I did. It worked out great, no more overheating. I'm trying to avoid too much highly visible racing equipment so the mechanical water pump, power steering, mech fuel pump and a Powermaster one wire Mopar alternator are all in place. Its no race car, It is completely streetable. I don't even have a truck and trailer, I drive it all over including to and from the race tracks I run at.
