I considered this. However with all the mods I've lumped together at one
build (rear locking hubs, disc brakes, custom tranny crossmember,
clocked and terra low'd transfer case, NV4500, MPFI, lockers, etc.) the
fan can wait and I'm going conventional for now. When I actually get the
beast on the dirt and work out the kinks, I'll look more carefully at it.
Brass is looking better.

Besides, my plate is full w/o rerouting belts, right now. Perhaps the
MPFI will make up for it.
