Cooling issues

I cannot agree more strongly. That's not the case with all electric fans, but is with most of them people buy. If you don't spend around 250 bucks at the least, chances are you're not getting a good one. There are exceptions like some of the Ford fans some of the boys are using and they can be had pretty cheap in the salvage yards and those things will MOVE some air. They do require a little fab work of course to make work. But I'm like you. I'm a big fan of solid or clutch type fans driven off the engine.

This is true. I did the Ford Contour fans in the 440 duster. They move crazy amounts of air and kept it plenty coo- provided your charging system is up to the substantial amp draw, especially on start-up.

If you don't mind dropping the money, look into the DeltPag fans. I have their brushless 18" as a pusher on the 383 Dart and it seems to be keeping it plenty cool (Hasn't been through a CA summer yet, though). They are low profile, quiet and soft start built right in.
