I checked all the fans I had around, BMW M30 ones. 603. 606...all have wrong pitch blades. Even considered a V8 radiator in the 300SEL and figuring out some sort of radiator hoses to work. Closest I found I recall was an SDL radiator and one of the hoses matched close, but one was crazy out.
The best solution I've found for my om603 is electric puller fans behind the radiator in place of the viscous fan and eliminate the pusher aux fan to expose more of the condenser and radiator to airflow. The problem is most Efans are too thickto fit between the radiator and engine. Right now I'm using a pair of puller fans from a first gen Prius. They're the right size and shape and very powerful. I trigger them with a 91c temp switch in the thermostat housing through a relay. My temp gauge never exceeds 90c.
