Cooling a BBC Nova - Page 2

I see a Spal dual 12" (30102052), but it's 23.46" wide and I only have 22.5" of core width.
When you say use one thin fan, what fan are you thinking of?

Well, I've looked at alot of specs, and Spal makes the thinnest fans I can find. I could use a single 16" (2.48" thick in a 2.5" space), but that would be only 1610cfm. If I ran two 11s, it'd be 1940cfm. I really hate to swallow my made-in-USA pride and buy Italian fans, but I may not have much choice. I'll take some more measurements, then take my radiator with me to the speed shop this week and try a few different fans and see which ones fit on my radiator.
Thanks for the help, guys.
