looking for advice on electric fan set up

I have a 68 camaro running a 350 & 700r4 trans & cooler in front of rad.

I am looking for extra cooling with some electric fans I am looking to mount them from the front as i have a flex fan & shroud.

these will be heavy duty but axillary fans that will kick on & off by temperature automaticly when ignition is on

any advice? Az

mounting them like that may actually impede airflow and cause overheating on the highway.

my experience is dump the flex fans. wait, do you have any cooling problems now?

yes i have the original radiator that came with the car (327 2 barrel)

I had the radiator recored & water pump is brand new

Im running between 180 & 200 on short runs ( 10 miles ), its not even hot yet

I know i probably have to get a new bigger radiator but im trying to get at least 1 season out of it & get a new radiator over the winter.

If it were my car, I'd dump the flex fan and either replace it with a stock clutch fan, which are far batter units, or go electric.

I did 4th gen fans in my 77
