I as well have tried every fan, and have a pile of almost new fans to prove it!! My car was running the same as yours, once I stopped the temperature would continue to climb to over 200 degrees. I even tried having a 14 inch pusher and a 15 inch Black Magic as a puller, which had no effect. I have an old Contemporary Kit with a 427 and a HOWE aluminum radiator. The only solution I found that worked was installing a Vintage Air 18 inch Monster fan with one of there universal shrouds. They have several shrouds to pick for this fan, even one that fit my 22 inch by 20 inch radiator core. Now when I turn on the fan switch the temperature goes backwards. This is something I could never do with the single 16 inch fans. The dual fans were also to wide for my core, so that wasn't even an option. The only negative thing about this 18" Monster fan, is it needs like 5 1/2" of room!!!
