Do they have a conversion for the Type IV to use an upright cooling fan like the 911 or Type 1?

Before making a REALLY big change to this, please take the time to do some evaluation of what's really the problem and what possible solutions are out there. Are you measuring head temps? Are you measuring oil temp? Do you have a larger displacement motor? Turbo? Hot cam? Or is the motor just tired? Or does the timing just need to be set? Or is it running lean? As you can see, there are a TON of questions that need absolute, definitive answers before a swap of the cooling system would be justified.
