Here is the best picture I have of the fan here at work. It was taken over a year ago, but you get the idea.

I still have enough room in front of the fan to use a short socket and a 3/8" ratchet drive to install the bolts.

I've got a 454 and a tilt front- I fit a stock Ron Davis dual pass rad. with two puller fans- fabbed a custom mount. Pass. fan motor misses alt. by about 1/4 inch. Works great though. Gimme your e-mail and I'll sent pix if it helps. Won't be till next week though, I'm headed to Mex this weekend

Yes, please send pics of this tilt setup to : elohimfirst@msn.com

Thanks
Chris

radiator I'm using, with Flexilite 292 monster fans ( 31x19 universal Gm rad)

no put together pics, but the rad fits in front, about 3" further forward than stock with the fans behind it...leaves about 1" to front of water pump serp pulley...still has room for auto tranny cooler in front if I decided to change down the road...

supports are made of steel framing member, cost $11 for 10' section, cut a few pieces out, bent some in half lengthwise and used them for front supports, with a thin strip of rubber, it fits perfect around tanks on radiator, just need to fab top and bottom brackets, and drill holes for fans to mount...
