Default Re: Radiator, fan, water pump questions

My car is a 65, so I realize our clearance is going to be different, but I hope this gives you some ideas. I have a 4 core radiator, with a Taurus junk yard fan controlled by a cool little variable speed controller. I had a local guy fab me a small aluminum shroud for the fan and it looks trick!

My buddies 91 with a 408w did the same thing to me last summer. Broke the water pump shaft and trashed the radiator on a test run. I told him I hated regular fans for this reason and we put a junk yard fan in his also. Since your radiator is much bigger then mine, you won’t even need to have a custom shroud built. We took it straight from the junk yard and put it in. Works great!

I can post some pics if you like, just let me know.
