Re: Duel Electric fan question????

Late model Ford Taurus and/or Merc Sable dual fans. They fill up the radiator from side to side and are 2 speed motors. I've read good reviews on them for years on various hot rod sites.

I've come up with a shroud in CAD that I will build out of sheet metal to make them work the best. It's always optimal to use a shroud so you are pulling air through the entire radiator core.

Just called the yard. Mike says he has no Impala's of any kind, so what else should I look for. Newer Chevy Trucks?

Re: Duel Electric fan question????

Mudder. I have read a lot on the subject of electric fans and I've read that a mustang and lincoln mark8 fan is large and reliable. Also see the link I've included here from a jag site. Some real good reading there and notes some GM cars with electric fans that could be used.

This is what I picked up:http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ad.php?t=50085
But I haven't installed them yet(I haven't put my TPI in yet) I'm just using a 9C1 caprice fan that came with my serp setup for the time being.

Re: Duel Electric fan question????

Mudder I got my pair from a 3.8L Windstar Van. They are supposed to pull the air real well. Since I haven't run mine yet, I can't verify if there is any problems with them.
