[Tigers] Pusher fan

[Theo Smit]

Mark,
In my longest-time-ever engine swap saga, I installed a 1980's Toyota 
Cressida pusher fan. In the Cressida it was mounted on the front of the 
rad and AC condenser assembly. The fan is about 12" diameter. This fan 
has a steel shroud with three mounting ears. One of the three ears was 
at about the 5 o'clock orientation (viewed from the front) and aligned 
with the lower rad support, so I drilled a hole there. The second one 
was aligned at about 8 o'clock and missed everything, so I made a little 
extension bracket that bridged from there to the lower rad support 
(where there's an oval 1/4" hole in the support, on the angled part). 
The third mount was at 12 o'clock and I bent it forward and down so it 
matched the angle of the Tiger's cowling. I drilled and recessed a hole 
in the right place on the cowl and that mounts the fan without any 
direct link to the rad. Then I used some 1/2" weatherstrip rubber to 
seal the gap between the fan shroud and the radiator.

I picked up a Painless Wiring fan harness. It has a relay, and a 
thermoswitch, and the appropriate wiring to connect everything up. I 
haven't yet got that mounted, but I put a pipe thread bushing in the 
hot-side tank for the thermoswitch. I'm thinking that if that causes the 
fan to come on early and more often, that's probably not a bad thing.
