I'm replacing the flex fan on my 289 engine with the stock five balde type. Does somebody have a picture of the five blade fan on the engine so I know what wayit's suppose to be mounted?I don't know what way the blades should face (they are bent a little at the ends).Thanks in advance.

The direction of flow is toward the engine from the rad, so the curved part is toward the engine, away from the radiator..

 

It is mounted such as to ensure while turning, the blades are pushing air towards the engine. Just look at the way the blades are bent so that when it rotates, it propels air towards engine, not ttowards the rad.

 

The curves will be on the left side of the fan as you look from the front of the car.
