1986 Questions for all other cars

hi, I'm repositiong a cooling radiator in my car which do you think is better, an electric cooling fan and cowling infront of the radiator blowing through or behind sucking through?
ps my cowling covers the whole cooling elements but the fan only covers half . and my fan is reversible.

Hi billywhizzjayz,

If you have sufficient space, having the fan behind the radiator is the prefered choice.

The radiator would not be obstructed by the fan and its shroud and the area covered would be more for better cooling efficiency.
