I have a Champion 3 core aluminum radiator. I believe the width and height are the same as a stock 340 radiator. I have a very narrow flex fan and no shroud, no room for a shroud. My fan is only about 3/4 of an inch from the radiator. Close, but not touching. I ran an electric fan system at first but it didn't work as good as this setup and drew lots of power. I am real happy with it now but it took some custom fabbing of spacers to make work.

When I put his combo together I did a lot of research and calculating to make it work. I know there a lot naysayers about some of the things I have done but I know it works and works well. I talked to people that do nothing but boosted engines and they can't find any real problems with my setup. I have addressed possible problems in some unconventional ways but it does work.
