there is now way i could fit two of these things. the one in there now is positioned 100% perfectly to fit without hitting belts. if i go up down or side to side its going to hit something so its gotta stay where its at.

props to bobby for giving me the idea to install this fan in the first place!

its because the dodge ac compressor hits the chevy frame rails so i dont have room to run it down there. so run the chevy ac compressor in place of the dodge alternator and put the chevy alternator on the other side. that way my factory tach works and i have no clearance issues

I was gonna use that to compare to the factory dodge set-up.
