Questions & Answers

Is it going to fit a 1968 Cougar or a 302?

Yes, it'll work with any mech. As the blades protrude further forward, you can use a water pump if you have enough clearance.

Is this going to fit in a 1956 Chevy Bel Air with a 327 SB engine that doesn't have a fan shroud?

Yes, I've got it running on a 55 with a radiator and a six-cylinder engine. Working with a shroud is great, but it moves a lot of air and is VERY loud- It might take some time to get used to, similar to supercharger whoosing.

Is it possible to install a fan on a 58 Impala with a 348 engine?

It will work perfectly as long as your fan shroud has a diameter greater than 18". I have about 3/4" clearance and it is not a problem for me.

Is there a set pattern? If you're standing in front of the car and looking at the engine, it should be rotating clockwise. ?

Yes, in a clockwise direction.

It moves a great deal of air
5/5

My air-conditioned 55 Belair has a big block that has been running a heavy duty 7 blade flex fan for the past 10 years; it cooled fine around town until the dreaded traffic jam, when the temperatures would begin to rise; I don't have the space for a clutch fan setup, so I chose this fan. It's noticeably louder, particularly at my cruising speed of 2200 rpm; by 3000 rpm, my exhaust has drowned out the sound. It's not the best time to test for overheating in northern Illinois, but it's clear that this fan pulls a lot more air through my trans cooler, ac condenser, and desert cooler radiator than my flex.

Quality Assured I was blown away by the quality of this fan
5/5

To be honest, I bought it for the low price to test airflow on a rather expensive Ford 428 CobraJet engine, which I planned to keep in the shop as a spare. I'm just going to leave it on because it's so well made and produces such a high CFM velocity. A tip of the hat to the manufacturer for producing such a high-quality product.

like it
5/5

My application isn't particularly high-performing, but I liked how the alum handled it. If clearance is required, the blades can be bent. br>Because of my limited space, I needed a fan blade that was a little thinner.

A 327 small block should be able to fit in this space
5/5

It's a perfect fit for a Chevy 327 small block. On hot days, more air is needed to keep things cool. In addition, it aids the cooling system.

This is a well-built fan that pulls a lot of air, and it comes at a great price
5/5

That's exactly what I needed to keep the temperature down in slow traffic during the scorching Arizona summers.
