Electric fan dimentions?

Anyone with an electric fan, could you post the dimentions, Height and Width of the shroud and depth from the radiator to the back end of the motor?

I wanna put an electric fan on my truck, and I suppose if these can cool a rotary, it should cool a 4 banger just fine.

There's VERY little clearance between the rad and the water pump pulley, so that's the most important dimention.

Are you looking for a new fan? Or one of the junkyard options?

The cheapest thing that'll fit... Like I said, there's very little clearance between the front of the engine and the radiator... I'm gonna bring a tape measure down to the truck later today and check it out.

Allrightie, I got a radiator, the core is 26 inches wide by 16 inches tall... (Not including end tanks and side brackets remember.) I can deal with the length and width to an extent... It's just wider than the RX-7's...

But my problem is I've got 3.5-4 inches between the core itself and the water pump pulley.

I dont have it in front of me, but I have a fiero fan and it is the same size as the long rad. Would a fan fit on the other side of your rad if you dont have room on the engine side? Just reverse the wires and push the air instead of pulling.
