Re: Radiator Shroud

ok, I used shorted brackets which brought it back a bit. The brackets hold it very securely, however when I put 3/8" of sponge-rubber weatherstrip around the outside edge, I thought I was going to need a huge press to get it in! Finally with a bit of clamping I got it to set perfectly. It would be a struggle to get it out... so hopefully this will keep temps correct. Shouldn't be to bad if I need to go back to the original, best of all - NO HOLES IN MY SHROUD!!
I fired it up she's definitely a sucker! Hard to tell how loud it will be in the truck, a little loud now but it's very quiet around here.

Any idea what the cfm rating on this fan is?

Nice work! Don't know the CFM, but I do know mine really SUCKS Are you going to install a relay? Supposedily, these can pull 80 amps at start up
