WHICH ARE THE BEST PUSHER FANS FROM FLEXALIE THAT I SHOULD BUY

The Meriah fans sold by Hall Pantera use Flex-a-lite blades, but a special (non-Flexalite) DC motor. The motor is a bit larger in diameter than the oem motor, but it will mount inside the original clamps if longer screws are employed.
They say its easier to pull air through a radiator than to push air through a radiator. For that reason, an ideal cooling system using pusher fans will employ a radiator with a core designed to offer minimum restriction to air flow. Hall Pantera's "Phoenix" radiator is designed to do just that, and makes the logical companion to compliment the Meriah fans.

I had a set of Hall's Meriah fans many years ago. I switched to the Flexalite brand motors because the Meriah motors just do not turn as fast and thus do not move as much air.
I can also recommend SPAL fans www.spal-usa.com Italian made if you are sticking with that theme 
but they are very high quality. They had a high enough cfm rating to use as a pusher fan in another one of my cars where I didn't have enough clearance to run a puller. They have a good website to look for sizes and specs as well to match your radiator.

I used to use Flexalite 210's, I am pretty sure they do not make them anymore, and use the 310's now. I acutally hated them, they moved a TON of air, but were too loud for me. I acutally referbed the original fans and put in a new aluminium radiator, and have no over heating problems now.
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR THE INPUT. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE ORIGINAL RADIATOR SINCE I NEVER HAD AN OVERHEATING PROBLEM IN THE PAST.
THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR 20 YEARS AND NOW FINALLY RUNNING AND BEING RESTORED.

I've just removed my original rad and would like to go with the original configuration. Are people out there staying with original configuration and just replacing the rad with new technology with success?
