Will my car overheat?

Bad89stang · 03-09-2002, 02:35 AM

I have a 17" SPAL electric puller fan that I am going to put on my stang. The car is stock with no major bolt ons. I am thinking about draining the cooling system, adding new coolant, adding water wetter, and a cooler thermostat with the electric fan. Will this suffice until I can get a good aluminum radiator. I am not using the A/C yet. It is still cool outside. The car ran extremely cool before with the belt driven fan. Will it get too hot now with the electric fan and stock radiator? I heard that the SPAL fans are pretty good quality. Any help would be appreciated.

You'll just have to try it and see. i don't foresee any problems right away. On a side note, the less coolant/more water you use, the cooler it will run. If you aren't experiencing sub 30 degree weather, I'd use no more than 10 percent coolant.

Take care,
