by rustytoolss Tue Sep 24, 2013 6:59 pmAnyone installed a clutch fan on the A100 with a 273 V8 ? just wondering if there is enough room ? I was reading that a Hayden Clutch unit for a Jaguar (2765) is not as long as a mopar unit . Guys with B body mopars seem to use them.

It was an 18 inch fan, I didn't have a shroud on it, but it didn't seem to make any difference. I went back to the stock set up, and will try to fabricate a shroud sometime.
