[Silence86]

ok guys i have a chance to put an electric fan on my c10. it has a 350 with just about nothing done... i dont know if it matters or not but what would you guys do stick with the belt driven fan or run electric....

Unless you are having cooling problems now, I see no reason to switch. Unless it is just to look "cool."

if you are bone stock now, just run the stock clutch fan....

well the fan is free and i do plan on doing stuff to the motor this fall so while i have the chance i figured i might as well..and it has been running warmer than normal..so yeah...

[WigglesTheHoly]

i'm thinking 90's Taurus fans if my memory serves me correctly.

[Silence86]

alright i have a dodnge intrepid dual fan, and a after market single fan... whatwould be better? you guys think i could make the mopar part fit?

[WigglesTheHoly]

I'd go with duals over a single any day if I had the option.

if i could get it to work i will but i would like input before...

My input is to fix the cooling issues that are causing it to "run warmer than normal". Collapsing hoses, thermostat, airflow across the radiator, fluid flow through the radiator, radiator pressure cap? Is the system full of junk and need flushed? Is the tune out of whack? If it is running warmer than normal, then there is a problem somewhere.

[nbpro]

put the fan on but do as glock35ipsc's said look for a problem somewhere.If it is running warmer than normal

[Silence86]

will do. i will get to it sometime this week and post updates on this when i get to it

Is there anyway you can take a pic of yours? I am wanting to do it with twin 12's or 14's and I see there are kits that come with a shoud but I'm curious to see how you did it. Thanks

An electric fan helps the engine by removing the power robbing mechanical fan. The number is around 5 HP gain on the enigne that is used up on turning the fan. That HP will now be applied to better use under the truck. I have changed my 1991 Daily Driver and my 84 show truck to electric fans and the gain was about 1 MPG and that adds up after awhile. I like my electric fans, due to the fact that in the winter my engines heat up quicker and in the summer, the fans remove heat a faster rate when sitting still on a street. The fan does not care what RPM the engine is running.

I going to put a sb400 in my '85. Should I go with a mech.or electric? If mech. what would be the best? What type of clutch?
