Radiator options

'84 was the only year that didn't offer the secondary/AUX fan. There's only 2 orientations, '84 - '89 and '90+.

Yeah ok.

For what it's worth, i've got a Bee Cool radiator, a 160deg. Thermo., and a manual fan switch.
That seems to work well for me here in the sub-tropics.

I also used Evans Propylene Glycol coolan,t (100%), for about ten years too, but I've found that the green stuff and water actually cools a little better.

WVZR-1 explained it before i got to it.
I looked into it and it would not mount to the newer style radiator set up.
Because of the vertically mounted radiator and radiator supports.

An aftermarket 12" pusher should work just fine for the later years.

It would seem that the air cleaner housing would interfere BUT if a person had the SLP 3 filter arrangement it might allow for an additional "pusher" to be mounted easily. Maybe not EASILY but I believe it would help!
