Electric Fan decision

GTSteed89 · 03-20-2001, 09:31 PM

I am in the process of getting everything ready for my new engine and am very concerned with overheating problems. Its a stroked 351 with AFR heads, HEFTY cam, and 11.25:1 compression. Would 1 electric fan be enough or should I try to get a thin electric fan and run my flex fan with it? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd go with a 3 or 4 row aluminum radiator and a Flex-a-lite Black Magic electric fan. That should keep you cool.

One of the Mags had an electric fan setup that used the stock shroud and pulled a lot more CFM. It might be worth checking out.
