Cooling a BBC Nova

NovaMan · 10-08-2008, 04:10 AM

I put a BBC in my Nova using the small block frame mounts, and there's only 2.5" between the radiator and the water pump pulley bolts. I've got an electric water pump drive, and I want to use an electric fan, but the junkyard special I have won't quite fit. If I mount it all the way to the driver side, it only interferes with the water pump drive belt a little bit, so if I move the drive motor, it could clear... but that'd probably be more hassle than getting a different fan. Anybody have any helpful insights?
