It's also worth noting that, in most cases, the pusher fans are in addition to puller fans. It's the puller fans that do the heavy lifting with the pusher fans there for appearance.

But that's an awful lot of work. 
Since you're so good at posting pictures, why don't you post a nice clear picture of an original 427 with dual pusher fans?

This, while not an original car, is one of my particular favorites, and always has been. KMS cars mount them a little differently than ERA does.

Because the originals did.......that is what "Replica" means.

Tripod lights go well with pusher fans. hauss, that's another "small item," of which there are a zillion, that you might like, or you might not, but you at least need to be aware of them.

OK you talked me into it I will put a bug screen , but be rest assured it will look good. You can keep your monkey ass fans I do not care ,just want you to know they block air , and take away from the looks of the car.

What’s more hilarious is these replicas are low mileage garage queens or towed to car shows🤣. Why install fans when cars are just parked for show.
For $65,000 price point, send emails to cobra replica dealers. Let them know what you want and how much you wanna pay. They’ll run like monkeys for your business and money ‘ cause it’s a buyer’s market.

Maybe hauss prefers the cleaner look of no fans.

... and they come off a heckuva lot easier than they go on.  Hopefully he'll get the chance to do one or the other.

We can now safely assume that any motorhome purchased by hauss will not have exposed pusher fans.
Personally, I love and prefer the original dual fans look on a 427 replica.

You know my pushers are not running normally, even when the puller fan is on. So, I've often wondered if the air pressure on the fans, while moving, was sufficient to "spin them" as I was driving, so as to make them appear to be on. But, each time I stop the car, unbuckle the belts, and quickly run around to look at them, they've stopped -- so I don't really know.  Kind of like that time I stayed up all night to see if I snored....

People used to say that I was so fast that I could turn off the bedroom light and and be in bed before the light went out.

No matter how fast I drive I can't catch the shimmering mirage on the highway...

Now here's a famous original we all know and love with dual pusher fans.

NYG, I forgot to mention that there’s always the Harry Potter forum so you “muggles” can compare wand and broomstick sizes, since you’re Cobra-less.

Old/Fake numbers. You're not going to find an SPF roller in the 40's. High 50's, maybe, but they usually look funny for some reason. Even then, it'll cost you another $25k to put a Roush/Tremec combo in there and have it set up right. Buying used is your only viable option.
