WTB Solid Fan/Spacer

[blm67net]

Hi, Hope I’m doing this right. Looking for a solid fan. I’ll worry about spacer after measurements. I don’t want the clutch fan anymore. Read where others changed to it. Solved overheating problem.22” radiator, 18” 7 blade, no clutch. Thanks.

You should determine what diameter fan your looking for. It'll be much easier to get what you need. 440'

You'll find these Derale fan blades are real quality and really move the air. Reasonably priced. They make them in different sizes to fit your needs.

As for the spacer, check out the 440 Source selection, that really helped me.

This one's rated for 8,000 rpm. The other I posted was 6,000. Do your own research and measurements on these. Might be differences in the center hole dia. I'll look for my receipt on the one I bought. A fan shroud is the trick for a good setup. One third of the blade showing out of the shroud. It doesn't matter the distance from the radiator as long as it's not too close.

Ok thanks very much. I’ll look into it. I’m ready to try it at this point. I don’t care for the clutch fan. In my mind seems like the clutch is in the road of the pusher fan. I realize it should be pulling it in. Just look like a hindrance to me.

Make sure you measure,I went down this road and and ended up with fans that didnt work. Yes I bought a DeRale fan and the blades were to curved it would hit PS unit or to close to the Radiator.

Try it without the electric fan. In a lot of cases the electric fan causes cavitation/turbulence that hinders the airflow.

Thanks, Good to know. Was that with 18”? I wondered how much of a curve it had.

On the center hole. Mine is 5/8.

Going to order the fan today once I’m certain of spacer. Is one spacer type better than another?? I did run the car without out the electric fan. I added the fan hoping it would fix my problem. Draining all the coolant today. It was flushed out when I put in the aluminum with large 2 core 22”. Water pump is driven off large crank pulley. Is that correct or, should the pump be driven by 2 pulleys smaller, equal in size? Thanks for all the input.

Both of my pullys are 7". No spacer. The widest part of the fan blade is 2" from the radiator. 1" clearance inside the shroud. 1/3 of the blade out of the shroud.
