Hi mate, Im in the process of doing the same thing.

There is a fair few good articles on here relationg to installing the fan. I was lucky enough to be given a davies craig fan just perfect for the job.

i have just started investigating this now and have come up with the spal 9" pulling fan its on ebay but believe ashdown inghams have them as well and from what i have read they pull more air then the davies craig.

Thanks guys - this will give me a starting point

The spal is a better fan then the davies craig but the fan i got was free so i will try it and if its no good then it will be replaced with a spal fan.

davies craig is definately up to the job required be free is always the best but if you have to fork out the coin.buy the stronger one

To be honest, unless you do sand driving, don't waste your time. At speed, the IC will pull in more air than a fan will. Whilst in low range you will have plenty of torque in the motor that you wont even need the extra power that you might expect a fan on the IC will give.
The only time I would put an IC fan on is if I were to install an Intercooler that will really benefit from it. A better quality IC would more beneficial but $$$$ to do so. In my opinion, the fan will just block the flow of the free air needed to flow through the IC. I don't think I have seen anyone say a fan has been actually beneficial.
But each to their own. I am more than happy to each my words and to be proven wrong but this is what we are all about hey. Modding, modding and more modding.
When its done I would be real keen to see any feedback on how it goes.

Thanks guys - all good food for thought

You will get better results by scrapping the factory intercooler altogether.

Asked this Question a while back and the concensus was not required
Have you looked at the bigger scoops for more air???
