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

eACH HEAD HAS THE HOLE, OR GO INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WATER JACKET.

yOU GUYS ARE ALL GREAT!! Inroducing a good do it yourself is very excellent stuff. Turning peeps on to a good deal is also good stuff!! I know the forum has rules against selling on the posts, but I remember a guy getting busted for sending out free samples of a penetrating oil if you payed shipping. he had wanted to turn everyone here onto a good item that we should know aboout and could realy use( we don't want to break things when we take them apart)I sure hope this post doesn't turn that way.
A guy tryiing to make a quick buck doesn't seem to apply here as far as I am concerned by the folk who have offered these fans at bargain prices.
Kinda a sensitive issue with some people it seems. I consider thisa club. If I am at a club meeting, some guy mentions a part or two for an alnmost unbelievable give away price ( considering the cost of shipping now days, ) I feel it a friendly jesture.
However, if an individual jumps in with a product for sale that he is building or marketing and taking advantage of the opportunity as a moment to puash his item, then that is not right . I don't see any of that happening here with the offers on the fans.

with everything 72armyswbtruck said! . The only thing I "might" do is drill a small hole in the lower side of the shroud to run the wires thru to conceal them a little more. Thanks again 71Rat for a great post!

Looks like a great mod. Does this provide equal or better cooling than the dual fans?

Is this using the part number CBG4F250? I keep getting "no matching part found". I'd like to order one of these, but that number is turning up nothing at every online OEM parts place I'm checking - what am I doing wrong?

Just go to that website he listed, register as a new account, enter that part number - it goes into your "shopping cart," then go to the checkout area, with a credit card. Took me 2 minutes or so. Very simple. Freight $$$ amount was not shown, which makes me uneasy, but I selected UPS Ground as shipping method. Got my fingers crossed on the amount for the shipping.

Thanks - tried it again after registering and still not showing in the parts look-up. I clicked on "home" and logged in (again) and it took me to a different lookup entry. That one seemed to work, so it's ordered.

Odd site mechanics - hope this goes through - LOL

sorry it was 195 or 205 only for this machine so i got the 195 deg. i like on at 180 also but to do that you,ve got to run all the light duty parts and the relay. i like to keep it as simple as possible. less there is = lest to go wrong. you could always use the manuel switch for in town use.
