Re: electric fans
 

I designed and built my own. Bought the parts on ebay. Cheaper and looks good. (in my opinion, for what it's worth.) Less than $150.00.

Re: electric fans
 

I used a set out of an LS1 camaro....pretty much the perfect size.

Re: electric fans
 

Head to a pull-it-yourself junkyard and look for a Ford Taurus with the V6, and pull out the fan. Very low buck, but very reliable and it sucks more air than most aftermarket kits I have seen. I paid for my intake and carb by buying them for $15 bucks from the U-Pullit in Vancouver, WA and turning around and posting them on ebay for $60. I have tested them with a battery and they will take flight from a work bench when you give them 12 volts DC. I also put one in my buddies Nova with a built 400SBC, and once the fan is on you can drop a red shop towel in front of the grille about 4 feet away, and it will end up getting sucked flat onto the radiator.

Heads up - He's talking about a big block, not a small block.

The Flexalite fans, while really nice - won't fit, they're too thick.

Derale makes a set that will fit with some trimming of the shroud.

Re: electric fans
 

I am running the SPAL dual 11" fans on my 84 and 91 Silverados. I also have a set for my 68 C-10 when I start to assemble it. They work great, easy to attach. I use the "Mill Strap" aluminum material that every farm, hardware, and lumberyard carries. It is easy to cut, bend and polish for looks. The fans have their own shroud built on them and they have a capacity to cool a serious HP motor.

They are sold in Summit Racing under the "Be Cool" fan line.

Re: electric fans
 

Hmm, Thats really weird, I did the same exact thing. Of course the fans need to be out of a 3.8 car, steer clear of the ones with a 3.0 V6.

Re: electric fans
 

Yeah I to am in the market for an electric fan for my 6 banger. And with some aftermarket parts such as intake and headers it will need the extra cooling of the electric fan can deliver.

Re: electric fans
 

I put the '' mopar fan '' that a lot of us got in my big block shroud ,works great . My 402 is .030 over and 10.50 to 1 comp....

Re: electric fans
 

That's a really nice fit.

Re: electric fans
 

Part # of that Mopar fan?

Re: electric fans
 

I am running a pair of 14" Flexs a lites in front of my 383(mounted on a steel shelf.)...keeps her nice & cool. The PAINLESS controls are worth what you pay for them. The controls are on @ 185/off 170.....temp runs tween 175-185 ALL day long, on the HOTTEST days in Illinois;) Those fans are coolin a 385 horse 383....crazyL

here is the link for the numbers to the mopar fan http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...electric+mopar

Re: electric fans
 

my electric fan came out of a 93ish firebird and with very little mods fit behind my factory small block shroud

Re: electric fans
 

flex a lite makes a low profile 5/8 thick set of duals. Very nice kit. They fit my big block just right.

Re: electric fans
 

Thanks for the link...just ordered a fan through moparpart.com. $41 plus shipping. I've got a couple of BBC shrouds laying around and will fit them up!
