Help Converting a 72 to Electric Fans and holding down the Radiator
 
3 Attachment(s)
I have a 72 chrome bumper LeMans (I believe the chrome bumper cars have different core supports than the enduras) that I'm putting in a Cold Case radiator and electric fans. I'm not sure how this all goes together. How does this get held down and these radiator cushions look not right as well?

Here's what it looked like during disassembly and now in mock up.

Maybe not what you wish but my 5.3 Gen V I used a thermo clutch fan. It screwed right on to the water pump.

Fan application is 1990-2011 Ranger 4.0 w/ HD cooling.

What motor is this?

I think I landed at the same place. I checked their site and they sell this

What I bought and am waiting on delivery of is this

I report back how I make out.

BTW - I called Cold Case today and they basically told me I need to figure it out with part available.

Chevelle hold down was not a match. looks like im fabricating my own. Very surprised this problem isn't readily solved by now.

Out of curiosity - is your water pump pulley threaded at the end?
