    Don't remember seeing any fan articles with dimensions. I'll soon be needing an electric fan for my Rambler project, the radiator is 24"w x 19"h overall. I'm pretty sure the Taurus fan will be ideal with the possible exception of depth. Not real sure how much room I'll have to play with. Anyone know if there's a chart listing various factory fan dims with their depths?

    we found that the...Taurus fans...have different depths...depends on how the motor is mounted. I found this out when I went to replace mine with a new one. the plugs are different also (3) that I know of. Jamie Miles mounted his motor to the front side of the shroud and gained some more room.

    The links Dave provided got me looking at the Contour/Mystique dual fans, that will definitely clear my water pump pulley. Not sure how much air they'll move though. If I can find an LS2 pump with the short pulley, any Taurus fan should clear, but for now I'm stuck with the early C5 pump with it's long style pulley. I know ya'll don't really want to be hearing about this LS stuff so I'll shut up now...
