		I've been looking at that too.  Most electric fan companies do not recommend electric fans for over 400 cid.  They say that you need somewhere around 2800 cfm to keep a big block cool (depends on the engine of course).  Most electric fans only pull around 1500 cfm.  A clutch fan pulls plenty, especially with a shround.
  Now, we've all seen big blown engines with eletric fans, so I know it's gotta work.  I'm planning on running dual 12" or 14" fans in my 67 mustang.  The radiator is a 3-row 24"x16".  The fans I like the most are by Hot Rod Air, although I'm sure any major manufacturer would work fine.  One thing to look for is a thermostat.  Some aftermarket fans don't automatically come on, so you have to wire a thermostat into it.  I think painless wiring has a kit for this.  You can find it at Summit.  |
