Clutch style fan?

Mullina, i had the same problem, i bought an e-fan from autozone for my SB 73 dart, it was a Hayden, i installed it as a puller, the temp kept climbing up, so i found (got lucky) a fan/clutch essembly from an A body, it was used & still in good shape, after i installed it the car never got hot again, i could sit in traffic & it wouldn't go past 185*, so i'm a true believer in this set-up.

I can't remember exactly but the e-fan I have moves over 3500 CFM and it still lacked in keeping the motor cool enough. One thing to make note of is the air passing through the rad at speed with a e-fan goes everywhere.... through the fan, around the fan, sides of the rad. With a shroud the air is "funneled" directly on the block of the engine. A shroud plays a big role in engine cooling. I used to be a non believer that the shroud was kind of waste money but no longer. I really believe that a e- fan mounted as a puller centered in a shroud would be better.
