I am running a 67 B body K frame so my engine is sitting back a bit. ( bout an inch) I dont think the HHR fan would ever fit with the engine mounted in the stock location. 6937941-Waterpumpfan.jpg (81 downloads) I used to care but....... things have changed

I bought Deraile's 18217 17" two speed fan - at 2-5/8" it still wouldn't clear. I managed to squeeze it in front of the radiator, its really a great fan Ride eternal, shiny and chrome

It also cooled much better in the E-body, maybe having to do with better air circulation under the hood?
