    So I am having to switch to an electric fan due to some clearance issues with my new radiator. If I am mounting the fan on the inside of the engine bay against the radiator do I need a fan that pushes air or pulls air? My guess is pull but I need some confirmation. Thanks!

    Puller, plus you need a shroud that covers the face of the radiator so the fan pulls air through the whole core.

    Yep, it sucks. With shroud. Without a shroud, most are going to be, at best, marginally efficient.
