Not trying to dog on the mounts, so please don't take offense.

But what is it with moving the motor further back and lower. Pretty soon the next mount kit is going to have the motor sitting under my driver seat.

But on topic. Even though running a clutch fan does have it's advatages, I think running a motor to the extreme maximum rear ward will either;

prevent anyone to get to the top transmission bolts or even try to get the transmission off in the car

Build heat between the rear of the head since its wedged against the firewall.

Oil pan clearances are already bad enough, especially for the lowered s-chassis guys.

Clearances all around towards the downpipe, the greddy im w/ q45 hitting anything on the passanger side, etc.

I know I'm not giving you much slack here but those are the first things that came to mind when I saw the title.

Pictures will clear up a lot of doubt and questions for those who might be interested in something you have to offer.

As well all know I'm a huge fan on more selection of RB parts being introduced to the market so hope things look good, fuction better, and has great pricing.

(Is it even ok for you to be setting up a thread like this under current forum rules?) idk

I actually had the clutch fan on when I first got my rb running. I have top hat mounts. The only reason I took it out was because I went to the koyo racing radiator.

With a larger radiator - no way with the tophats. Electric fans work - but the fan would be much easier.

if you want to run a clutch fan or puller fans on a rb swapped 240 you have to cut the raidiator support to move the raidaitor forward and you can use any rb mount kit and do this.
