Tonight I drained and pulled my the 1800E radiator from the amazon, slapped on the fan shroud and put it back in. It fits perfectly around the 1800E flex fan that Installed with the radiator a while back. I'm once again impressed by the volvo engineers because the 122 radiator/engine/fan geometry is identical to the 1800E.

I do have one of those asymmetrical plastic 5-blade upgrade fans on the wagon, but I'm trying not to cannibalize parts. I like the "pull" of the 1800E flex fan anyway...

The real trick to get it all to work fine, was to NOT use that 2" spacer on the end of the water pump bracket. I used a much thinner spacer that I found laying around.
