Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Called my local dealer and they said that they could not sell me the CBG4F250 fan since it was a replacement for a recall. Could sell it to another dealer but not to an individual.
Anyone else have this problem? Know a way around it?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
My neighbor works for chrysler as a parts guy all the in stock ones were tagged for customers for the recall since each dealer only gets 5% of the vehicles they sold through that dealership so he ordered one for me I didn't have a problem, try another dealer or an aftermarket brand, they should be able to sell you whatever you want anyway I don't see why an individual cant get a part he's paying for even though it is a recall item, it might just be a inventory thing since they only receive 5% to keep on hand

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Like many others I ordered mine from Moparparts.com. They are a little slow on the uptake, but the fan arrived today brand new in the box for just under $55.00 with shipping.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
franks 72: thank you, I actually picked up a big block shroud today so im also interested in seeing how it works (i guess the next step would be to buy a big block and install it). As far as what track I race at, Im from northern nj so when i get around to racing i race at island dragway, but I did race at englishtown twice, once with my 71 longbed and once with my dads srt8 300. did you go to the swap meet this weekend at e-town?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
i just measured my bb shroud and it measures a 21" hole over the sb 19 1/4 hole.... so the fans going to be a little smaller in it if used. no idea how it will work cooling a big block hopefully someone will chime in if they have tried it.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
I have a sbc shroud with a 4 row bbc radiator I havent bolted it up cause I need to order the correct radiator mounts, I had to flaten out the 3 row mounts so the holes for the shroud are bent but the look like theyll work when I get the correct mounts, I just trecieved my fan the other day and Im ordering mounts within the next week so I'll let everyone know how it works out with the sbc shroud to bbc radiator

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
I ordered one of those (without measuring first) for my 70 big block truck. Just so you know, if you have a big block with a "long pump" setup there is not enough clearance.

Not enough clearance eh? that sucks... was this with a 4 core and stock shroud? I've got one of those serpentine kits on my BB, you think that might help with space??

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Hmmmmmm, interesting. I didn't unbolt anything but just held up the smallblock shroud and a late model Camaro fan and it looked like it would be too close. I figured the Jeep fan wouldn't be too different and didn't want to spend the $$$ only to have it not work.
Could you show good pics of it installed in your rig?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Yes I am using 4 core radiator and stock BB shroud. Sorry , dont know what the clearance difference (if any) would be on the serpintine. Mine with long pump measures 3 1/8 from water pump shaft to the rad. the elec fan is 3". just cant squeak it in there and be safe. I will probably go with a dual stup like Palf70 showed.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!

Any guesses as to why?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
Too Long eh?
Brad Try a dual fan shroud setup from a 3.8L Windstar Van. They supposedly pull alot of air, and the shroud lyes alot flatter than this set up. It's what I was going to use before I saw this thread

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
WOW, outstanding post!
Hope this isn't a dump question but is there a way to run the fan off the temp sensor for the water temp gauge? This way there would not be a need to drill into the head for a switch. I'm a little leery of doing that. 71Rat, maybe you could give us a little info on how to locate the proper area on the head to hit a water jacket, with the head on. And what you used to drill, tap, and keep the debris out. Thanks
