electric fan set up ?
Would a dual electric fan set up that's 36 wide by 21 tall work in either a 81 C10 truck or 82 K5 Blazer?

Re: electric fan set up ?
Not sure on the dimensions. You would have to measure your radiator width. I have a dual fan setup on my stock replacement radiator and I had no fitment issues. There again i don't know dimensions off the top of my head

Re: electric fan set up ?
Just curious, why would you need an electric fan? Are you not using the stock fan? All of my 3 squares had no cooling problems with stock 350 or 454 engines, and stock fan setup, even in the desert heat.

Re: electric fan set up ?
Yes you could but you need to think of a figure eight shape slanted at a 45 degree angle......one fan in the upper left and the other in the lower right................

Re: electric fan set up ?
I have two fans straight across from each other.
I see slightly above normal temps when I had a single fan right in the middle. And I have a built .40 over sbc. No cooling issues now and I have a temp sensor wired in with it. |

Re: electric fan set up ?
The two speed Lincoln Mark VIII fans pull insane amounts of air when mounted inside a stock fan shroud.
Do a search for Mark VIII fan.

Re: electric fan set up ?
I use Ford Windstar dual fans. They fit and work awesome.

Re: electric fan set up ?
My electric setup is a dual fan.. outside dimensions are 16x26..that's about as big as I could put on it ..there's about 1" gap around the outside of it.

Re: electric fan set up ?
First gen Windstar, 94-98. I actually flipped mine so they are mounted upside down, fit better that way in my opinion.

Re: electric fan set up ?
Yes, it's not ideal but wouldn't fit in front of radiator. It's routed through radiator first, then to cooler. I swapped a 4L80E in and it's there for extra insurance.

Re: electric fan set up ?
Did you add holes to the radiator support or a duct?

Re: electric fan set up ?
Mark VIII fans are not 2-speed. They can be ran as multi-speed but that requires a custom control harness. There is a shunt between the low and high speed windings making the Mark VIII fans single high speed. The Volvo relay shouldn't be used with them-now, you can run a T-Bird or Taurus dual speed fan with the Volvo relay. Ive so ran the 2-speed Crown Vic fans with them also.
