Just sharing a solution I came up with , may help others with the same issue. I used a Mercedes gas engine fan relocation bracket bearing that has the same fan setup as the OM 606 with the center bolt, as well as DieselpumpUK's alternator relocation bracket and small water pump pulley.

AlanMcR Quite clever. Seems like there will be a problem with routing the top radiator hose though.I will be running a 90 degree tube out of the head. Already solved that. Obviously this is still in the mock up stage.

Long engine = electric fans in front of radiator onlyI have never had much luck with electric fans unless they were a factory style as in the late JK jeeps, and they even have cooling issues. It is sometimes a lot of work to run the OEM fan but there is nothing worse then a vehicle that over heats. Especially on an off road vehicle.

The brushless fans found on many Mercedes do a good job, but they draw a ton of current.
Modern pickup trucks that are designed to operate at full power for extended periods while towing heavy loads all have mechanical fans with electronic clutches.
