I know the 5.0 rad casts about the same shadow for ever dimension but thickness.
Anyone tried to cool a 5.0 with the later single row 4.0 Radiator?
Kind of hit a philosophical vibe and got to wondering if being able to run a real OEM clutch fan with a single row would do more good than a low profile flexfan with a two row...
Right now the clutch just barely drags on the radiator. With half the radiator I would have roughly an inch of clearance.
Tucking into the support is about nill with a first gen and A/C.
