I have been thinking of installing an electric fan to replace the clutch fan on the M103. The M103 has a tiny clutch fan and the fan clutch seems to wear out quickly. Mine needs to be replaced. Cost would be $90 to replace it, which really isn't bad but I was thinking of using an electric fan if I can find one that would fit.

One huge benefit of an electric fan would be that I could mount it in a way that would make it easy to remove so I could get better access to the front of the engine vs with the clutch fan you pretty much have to remove the radiator if you want to get the fan off.

I've just heard that the stock fan struggles to keep the car cool in hot weather with the AC on and being in Atlanta, and being that my car is black, I need maximum cooling efficiency. An electric fan may not be any better given how little space there is but I would like any thoughts or suggestions. I have a recently replaced radiator in the car and a new coolant cap so it should not need either of those parts replaced.
