Default 68 Electric Fan Mounting

Has anyone else put an electric fan in a 68 with the post-style radiator mounts? I'd rather not use the ziptie-style that go through the core but there doesn't really seem to be any other way of mounting a fan to this radiator.

We used a Dewitt’s with the integrated fans. Albeit it was super close and we had to modify a few things on the car for it to fit it wasn’t too bad. 68s are weird being there are so many mid year changes. If you are thinking about replacing the radiator I would honestly go this route.

I bought a fan shroud from speedway and cut a hole in it for the 16 inch fan I was running . If you have higher horsepower than the the stock 300hp, I would consider running dual fans and going with the big block radiator. I was running a dewitt radiator so I built a clamp that slid over the top frame of the radiator, another for the bottom and used it to hold the shroud. It worked great up to somewhere between 350- 400hp
