7 blade fan for small block - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

skokie · 10-20-2006, 12:25 AM

I am looking for a 7 blade fan for my 350. What kind of car can I get one off of? Waterpump is a short one with a fan clutch.

Thanks

You can get a new one from O'Reilly's....just ask them at the counter. If you are set on the yard search, you can check old station wagons and trucks with HD cooling packages [usually included with tow package].

I took the one I had laying around from my 1971 Monte Carlo and bolted it on. It looks a heck of a lot like the ones on my Chevelles too.

Have you tried ebay? I've had great success with flex~fans on there.

The 7-blade clutch fan on our trucks was on AC only. Do you need the fan, clutch or both?
Be careful using fans off other vehicles. A lot of them were bigger and if you run them and the engine moves a little under power they will tear up the fan shroud...or more.

I have the clutch I just need the fan it self. What size is that fan? Have looked on ebay and seen one or two but have not had much luck getting a response when I ask the diameter of the fan.

TRY ONE OFF OF A CHEVY VAN UP UNTIL THE MID EIGHTIES. GET THE SHROUD TOO AS THE LOOK JUST LIKE THE ONES ON OUR TRUCKS, BUT HAVE A LITTLE LARGER HOLE & ARE ABOUT TWICE AS HEAVY DUTY. THERE THICKER & GREAT FOR A DRIVER. I USE EM ON ALMOST ALL OF MY TRUCKS. JOHN

What is the diameter of the 7 blade fans? 18 or 19?
