Fast Willie is right IMO. I would go with an SFI approved Harmonic Balancer and an Electric Fan, If performance is your goal. Ditching the flex fan will free up a few extra HP as well.

The motor is first. I did the same thing and now it is in my way all the time. no space.

weaintscared · 10-30-2012, 08:05 PM

Yea your right about that motor,transmission is always in the way it's been awhile since I've had a chance to work on my truck but I've still been buying new parts,,, hopefully I can get started back on it now that it's cooled off some

Haven't done much to the old truck but did find someone that needed some of the stuff I took off and mad him a deal on it... Maybe I can get back to work on it the 1st of the year.. IF THE WORLD DON'T END

Looks as if I have a money pit!!!

Looks like a good start but toss that flex fan they are known for coming apart

weaintscared · 06-19-2011, 02:55 PM

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-19-2011, 08:39 PM

The last one I had come apart on my 74 nova almost came all the way through the hood and scared the crap outta me... E fans are the way to go..

weaintscared · 06-19-2011, 10:30 PM

Which way do I go single or dual fan? Does anyone no which car or truck came with electric fans that would fit and work?
