69 GTX WITH CVF SERPENTINE

[BruteForce1.]

I have a 69 GTX 440 with CVF Serpentine kit and have been searching this site to see which Electric Fans folks are running on these cars with no luck. Doesn’t have any room for dual fans due to Serpentine kit, would appreciate any advice or pics of anyone running this system, Thanks

I have the stock belts and pulleys - mounted a 16 inch pusher fan on the front of the stock 22 inch radiator. Not enough room behind the radiator even with stock pulleys. With no fan or shroud makes it much easier to change the oil filter and work on the front of the engine.
Made two brackets to attach fan to the radiator mounting bits of metal. The fan sits off the radiator core about 2 mm.
The way I did it you can remove/install the radiator with the fan mounted to it.
Cools fine.

Any pics of your setup, what fan are you using

 

[steve340]

It is a Davies Craig an Australian manufacturer.

Is your car a big block, just the one fan keeps it cool

 

[steve340]

Yes 440 motor but stock. One fan does the job with zero problem. It will only operate at traffic lights never runs while the car is on the highway.
I think the fan is rated around 2200 CFM.
Position the fan at the top part of a downflow radiator core - this is where the water is hottest going in to the radiator from the top hose.

On the Plymouth there is also a wind deflector plate that attaches to the front bumper and irons.
Not sure about a Dodge.
This directs the air when at speed to go through the radiator rather than "spill" under the car.
You may get airflow problems at speed without the plate.

Ok thanks any pics of the deflector plate for the Plymouth also what brand is the fan you’re using, really appreciate your input

 

[steve340]

Check post #4 Davies Craig - above the pics. If you get a fan look for one with a big powerful fan motor.
Sorry I do not have any pics of the sheet metal plate. Someone else will be able to post one hopefully.
Someone listed one for sale a while ago.

I had a bit of a search around and if the part is missing it appears they are reproduced by AMD.
Roseville calls them "Front Bumper Lower Shield" good picture as well.
$150 brand new.

16" Perma-Cool it sets out about 3.125", (Can get the m up-to 3,300cfm ea.)
from the farthest point of the fan motor mounted on 1/8" rubber to the face of the radiator
like 8 amp draw each
1) puller 2,950 cfm alum blade in a hand made shroud
sort of down lower by the flowing bottom to the water pump outlet

13" Perma-Cool 3,000cfm pusher (just reverse the wires if need be) on front just in case,
no shroud
on the opposite side upper part in front of the radiator, from the top hose side

rarely ever turn it on, my car runs about 180-ish even in the 100* heat

an electric water pump 35gpm Pro-Comp electric,
with a 5/8" opening as a restrictor, in where the thermostat would be

'best cfm moving fans I could find for the size 22"

don't drive it all that much but been good for 15+ years now
it's all tight fit in my 68 RR
I have 2 serpentine belts one for my power steering with an idler & 1 for the Alt.
alum. pulleys by March Industries
you can see how close the electric water pump & fan motor is
sorry not a great photo

got them all from Summit Racing, fabed up my own custom shroud
have them activated by/thru Bosch 40 amp relays, thru Painless on/off switch panel

the fans move far more air then the weak plastic spawl type fans
been there done that, never again

MRE (Mancini Racing) Alum large tube core custom radiator
with a 19 lb cap
it's not a stock 383, it does have a 383 again,
back with the OE block, 0.040" over 4.290" bore 390+ cid
appr. 425hp now
all the alum. heads, roller cam/1.6:1 rockers
& intake 3x2bbl trick 2300 carbs from the 479cid low-deck combo
I sold the short-block to one of my racing buddies, in dire need

still a thermo nuclear plant driving down the road, but manageable
no problems for now

fresh air from the 6bbl lift off hood helps too

sorry can't help much past that

sorry no great photos of the rad & fans, it's tight in there

Good luck you'll need it

16" Brushless Fan Kit

Delta Pag... 2.63 thick, minimal airflow restriction, low electrical draw, 21 amps at start-up 3200 CFM.... The body/motor & blades are all designed to move max air while not impeding airflow when not running...


This is the fan used by many of the heavy hitters in Drag-n-Drive events including Finnegan, Steve Morris, Tom Bailey and quite a few others, including a few local buddies of mine
