Default FAL radiator fans...can the rotation be reversed?

Can I mount my FAL raidator fan on the front of my radiator to give me more room to fit a filter? Right now I have hardly ANY room

Now that I think about it...won't that cause me to overheat? It seems like it would block some of the air to the radiator...

I have NO room for a filter...now what? I don't want to use screen...

The FAL fan that came on my C&R radiator was not reversible. The offset is side specific so you will be better off just buying a new fan.

yea....you gotta buy a pusher fan...look at the fin design and you will see it won't move much air being driven in reverse(the one that u have already, not a pusher)


EDIT: just noticed I'm famous!!! (sig quote)

Have a shot of the engine bay? Curious to see how much room you have, what kind of radiator you have...

Are you running a lower temp thermostat and fan switch? Do you have a front lower defuser? Do you have A/C?
