Good work. I’m with you, I’m all for giving the oem type stuff a try, but in the end, it’s the electric fans that keep me relaxed in traffic in 85* weather.
I watched that engine masters video yesterday. I ordered an elec. fan,shroud,and am going to try the 3000 cfm elec. fan that wouldn`t keep my 505 cool when I first started it, w/o a shroud. Hoping now that it`s close to being broke in and tuned a little better, that it might do the trick now. Especially since I have a 15" booster fan in front now too. The 17" mech.fan w/ my highly reworked alum shroud was working pretty good, but U know, the horse power bug still bites !Wish I would have given my input, a simple pusher fan would have worked great here with your clutch fan setup and you could have retained your power steering. My previous RB motor cooled great with an 18" mechanical fan (no clutch / no shroud), of course, it quickly was removed after I watched Engine Masters lose over 30-horsepower running one. I've been running the Jaguar clutch fan assembly for awhile now, and it's not even close at low engine speed. Electric pusher fan is mandatory, I too originally replaced one of my clutches thinking it was just a single, faulty unit. Happy you found a solution.
You talking to me ? If so, I will have 2 fans , one in front now, the other will be in the new shroud I`m waiting on. Should be here today. What ''DEAL'' ?--------BOBYour better off with 2 fans or a 2 speed fan than a single speed single fan. I have a new Volvo 2 speed (same as the Taurus) with the Volvo relay and fuse that I can’t use in my dart due to there being very little room. That fan is a monster!! Damn thing pulls something in the neighborhood of 4500cfm when on full boogie. If you find that you need more cooling, I’ll make ya a hell of a deal.
You can move it, the lip of the core support has to be cut off and then “slots” made so the radiator flange can slide behind it. I understand some people don’t want to do that, but that is the only way to move it......or cut the flange off the radiator and move it forward but that will only net you a 1/4” or so.
