Fan idea
The lincoln fan idea was one, behind the radiator, as a puller. No pushers, no mechanical.
I like mechanical fans actually. Reliable and simple. It's just not as easy to work on up there with all that fan and shroud and stuff in the way. When I changed to electric on my truck, I was amazed how convenient it suddenly became to work on. Since then, I've roadside repaired a water pump, tensioner, belt, alternator...all made much easier with all that room up there from the factory fan and shroud delete.
In a Cobra, the heating problems are typically when parked. Electrics really shine in that situation; you still get full cooling power at idle. If the mechanical works well enough at idle, I think that's a win. Simple is better.
