crazy idea to put a clutch fan on a K20?
I have the fan off my K20 and it is a direct drive fan from the water pump pully. I hardly ever tow or haul heavy loads with this truck, but I do once in a while. It never gets anywhere near overheating. It seems like I could take a little strain off the belt system if I put a clutch fan on it. Would that be a bad idea?

Do it!! I run a clutch fan on the 383 in the 68 and it never gets hot and it is quieter.

It's not a crazy idea at all. Since you don't tow much, go for the regular clutch rather than the HD one.

Re: crazy idea to put a clutch fan on a K20?
Thanks for the feedback. I feel better about it now.
I also noticed a piece missing out of one fan blade and I don't want to wait for another piece to fall off, so I'll be looking through my fan stock to replace it.
