Has anyone thought of or done a grill block and also changed their fan setup? I'm curious if anyone was able to to offset all/some cooling loss due to grill blocks with a fan change up. Either belt driven to electric or a higher performance electric fan.

I'd like to get a electric fan setup for reduced parasitic loss and increased engine space (much nicer for oil changes) in my F150 and wondered what luck, if any others have had trying this?

Thanks.
