You can change the rotation by reversing the wiring.

Go to the JY and find an electric fan mounted in front of the radiator and buy it. Mercedes and some other European cars do it that way.

This may be kind of obvious, but when installing the fan make sure is pushing the air towards the engine and not towards the grill

A simple wire inversion could lead to the air being pushed incorrectly and that will cause overheating problems for sure.
