2 x 10'' fans will be fine leighton

have a look on ebay as there dirt cheap on there (the fake spal and kenlowe fans are good) as i have them fitted on my car and no troubles in over 2 years

i just use the fitting kit where you poke the ties through the rad and pull them tight works well

Maybe il just go stock position with them then on a thought i would guess drawing hot air out of the engine bay would be better but i guess with speed il assume it will just head in that way anyhow. ...

if they will fit in usual place then i would fit them there tbh
if you want to fit on other side then just reverse the polarity
either way will work just fine!

Pull fans behind the rad are likely to be more efficient. The fan in front of the rad upsets the incoming airflow.

I've just mounted twin 10" push fans on mine after fitting a new manifold strangely enough i reversed the blades and it still sucked =( swapped the wires good as gold
theres more than enough room on the front side
