If your not trying to go for matching numbers car im running a fan out of a mid 80's big block truck which is 19.75in. I ran it without a shroud for a couple years and never had a problem but recently made a sheet metal shroud due to a near finger loss. The fan comes up nearly an inch over the top radiator support and well I just wasn't paying attention. But I never saw temps over 180 at idle unless its the middle of a beautiful 120 California summer day. For those days there's a 17 inch electric pusher fan mounted on the front side of my radiator that's on its own temperature switch mounted to my radiator.

Fat fingered from the phone- Corey
