I think it will fit the nose of the water pump but is there enough clearance between the engine and the radiator? There is not on my 62 Valiant |

My '64 doesn't have enough clearance for it. |

As others have posted, it'll be a no-go in a '65 or earlier A-body plus '66 Valiant/Barracuda, a really tight squeeze in a '66 Dart, and possible with care in many '67-up cars. There are other clutch fan setups that are thinner overall (Toyota, Mercedes, etc.). And you don't need to buy this setup from MP; it was factory installed on MANY different Mopar models of the '70s and '80s, so is common in wrecking yards. See threads here and here. |

I'd hit up a wrecking yard and look for those nice FMJ body cars that are still plentiful...My duster currently has a fan from an A/C optioned Volare on it and the cluthc went out, I ordered a new one to find that I had to tell them I had a Duster 360 to get the length of the shaft right (for some reason te 225/318 clutch had a 1/2" longer shaft putting the clutch unit 'on' the radiator fins...) buyer beware, -D.Idiot |

I know it won't fit my 74, but my 74 is a slant six Satellite where i'll bet yours is an A-body. I'd almost put money on it that it wouldn't fit. Slant six engines are L---O---N---G. |

Huh? I've got a clutch fan on my '72 Satellite. It came from a M body (think an '80's Fifth Avenue). Bolted right on, no cleanance issues.

I pulled a clutch fan from some boneyard mopar (I think it was a slant, but could have been a v-8) and it bolted into my 86 slanted van no problem. Dig around in junkyards and don't pay any more than $15 for a used clutch fan. That $105 price is a huge ripoff for a factory piece. |

Check the junkyards, some of the mid '70s A-body darts had a nice factory 5 blade steel flex fan. I used a 1 1/2" spacer to mount one into my '65 Dart. |

flex fans anyone? |

Flex fans can work, but I don't like 'em. Too noisy, and old or defectively-made ones are dangerous. Thread here. |

Flex fans make your car sound like an airplane. They can also chew a radiator at high RPMS. |
