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.

my 73 dart was a street car that i ran at the track more than i did the street. just to man crappy roads around me and worrying about smashing my 8 QT oil pan.:violent1: lol. my 73 dart had a summit brand 27.5x19 2 core aluminum rad and a summit brand CVR drop in electric water pump. I tried the HHR fan but ended up using a 3.8 ford tours fan. it has a built in shroud, 2 speed electric motor and what i like the most the fan motor is off set to the drivers side.on high it floes just as much air as the HHR if not more. the only thing is it cost me $100 off eBay shipped. it had no trouble keeping my mid 10 second pump gas street car cool. but i would of still did the rad like you did for a little bit more room. I will see if i can find a old pick of my fan set up. Thanks Mopar65

here is the best picture i could find of the 3.8 ford fan. again nothing wrong with the HHR, just showing another fan that can be used.
