Poking around as I have been, I see my 82 300CD does not have an aux fan, just a wide open area up front.

Was it that way stock? If not, is it best to find a stock assembly or go aftermarket, and if aftermarket, what size and cfm recommended?

Thanks!

It should have the aux fan. It mounts on the two angled bars.
PM Dawtwo. I got a replacement one from him. Really good guy to deal with.
