Electric fan opinions????

Fitting an electric fan on a Datsun swap. I've fitted one before as a pusher. Pushers are nice since they don't take up valuable engine room space but I've read that a puller works more efficiently. Can anyone tell me how much more efficiently or just their ideas on such a fan swap.


Thanks
Kurt

Very familiar with Plano and west heat! Used to always make sure to make the trip between the hills and the river early in the day or in the evening with my MGB! Rest stops were forbidden since stopping meant that large quantity's of coolant would go on the ground!

This is a Datsun engine swap as well as a 5 speed and the stock fan won't work. I've done one other and guess I'll do this one the same way. A pusher since it takes up no room and I don't have much room to spare.
