Hello all, i have been lurking for awhile and have gained much knowledge from this site. i have a work in progress 54 GMC w/350 sbc. i am looking for suggestions on an electric fan/shroud setup to fit the original radiator. thanks in advance for any help that may come.
Pop54 Welcome aboard. If you go through Frank64 threads you will find the information you need. Frank is building a customized 1/2 t. truck using a modern el. fan. Good luck Martinius.
Thank you for the welcome, i will check out the thread and also i will see if i can figure out how to post a photo. thanks again
E-Fans WELCOME , Pops ! . You'll find most E-Fans come with or can be added , simple plastic feet that you use to hold the fan to the radiator core with special ties made for this purpose ~ you're local NAPA or F.L.A.P.S. will have them in stock . Use the widest fan you can squeeze in and place it in front of the radiator , as far up as possible ~ it makes no difference puller or pusher fitment unless you didn't pass 7trh grade science . It's wise to use a relay and place the thermostatic switch in the thermostat housing (they make them for this,'85 Camaro etc.) and , to wire it live so the fan comes on anytime the engine is too hot , this means when you pull in to get a beer & shut it off , as you're 20' away, the fan will kick on and cool down not only the engine but all the other plastic & painted things under the hood that normally get ruined from the heat soak ~ your engine will love you for this .
