the clutch fan that was in it when i got it has issues with the hood its 18 in but the hood shut hits the shroud an pushes it into the fan how can i fix this ill go either route clutch fan or electric but i dont know how to do it so ittl work do they make a smaller diameter clutch fan that would still cool efficently?

Okay I need alittle more info about your car. Is this a Camaro or Firebird? What year? I take it you are doing an engine swap and looking for the proper fan? Did it orginally have an electric fan?
