I want to install AC in my Fury. And want to use a clutch fan to replace my fixed fan. Does the number of blades affect cooling/ and power loss ? have 318 poly.
Curious with the aluminum fan ya have, is it all sized the same - bolt pattern and dimension? If so, I'd like to maybe find one and drop the heavier steel one I have in.I use a 7-blade now with an RB stroker, it works well...it is the aluminum-blade unit that was used on the mid/later 70s models (I think?) I was using a steel 7-blade from a truck, and while I didn't see a change in cooling, I'm thinking lighter is better for less stress on parts and less parasitic loss.
I had very good results with the old MP 5-blade kit fan, maybe better than the factory 7 blades, but that one ended up getting destroyed and they are very, very had to find anymore.
What's the diameter od those 5 blade fans ??? funny thing I do have a 5 blade from a 3.9 magnum...reverse rotationMy 64 Belvedere Poly came with the optional 7 blade fixed fan.
I swapped it out for the Mopar Performance 5 blade clutch fan kit #P4120758
I've installed many of these over the years. They work very well.
Yes all standard Chrysler BB bolt patterns.Curious with the aluminum fan ya have, is it all sized the same - bolt pattern and dimension? If so, I'd like to maybe find one and drop the heavier steel one I have in.
They were 18" or 18.5" to fit the late 60's shrouds.What's the diameter od those 5 blade fans ??? funny thing I do have a 5 blade from a 3.9 magnum...reverse rotation
Yes, what beanhead said.The latest I did was I put a 75 Chrysler Cordoba radiator with the 75 shroud and the Mopar fan kit in a 63 Belvedere LA 318.They were 18" or 18.5" to fit the late 60's shrouds.
