Verified the thermostat opens as it should and observed coolant flow within radiator. I have a 16" puller fan, the highest 12" fan I found pulled a little over 2000 cfm. There is a dual 12" fan setup that will pull a mid-4000 cfm with shroud.
I was leaning that way and I was going to drill two small holes near the outer ring to help with air bubbles in case some get captured in the lines and radiator
Fan is on a relay, draws 12a on startup, alternator can easily handle it. Already have a 4g wire from + alternator post to + battery post. Alleviates strain on dash wiring
I currently have an aluminum shroud that fits the radiator and has a large hole in the middle foe the single fan to pull air through. Thinking of a dual, 12" fan that comes on at different Temps so it lessens the amp draw through relays. Total CFM when both on would be 4300 CFM
I have a blueprint 408 stroker (495hp), TF727 trans, champion 3 row, 26" radiator.
Currently have a single 3100cfm thermostatic fan that turns on at 180 and off at 165 degrees.
Everything has been running great the last few weeks as I am still under the 500 mile breaking on the engine.

I will see if I have a small slide hammer and try that. Thank you for the idea
I have a 1971 LA318 I am having a helluva time getting the intermediate shaft out of. The old intermediate shaft walked right out, used a long magnetic to pull the oil pump attracting piece out as it was broken.
Bought a new Mellings intermediate shaft, greased up, and installed. Used an old...
