    electric fan help needed

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted

    hi guys,

    i have a small question about electric fans, since the space between my new rad and my crank pully is very tight, i'm thinking about getting a new electric fan, i noticed on sites that they say pull or push type, what is pull type and what is push type?

    if the fan is mounted between the rad and the engine, what type should i have to flow the air toward the engine? and if mounted between the rad and the frontend, what type is needed in this case?

    thanks,

    P.S. does anybody know if they make slim Efans?

    hi Ed, well my Water pump is a highflow pump that turns both directions, clocklwise and counterclockwise, so i dont think its a problem anymore :)

    and BTW, your son's engine looks great, good job on the install.

    keep up the good work

    hi guys,

    i had few hours to use yesterday and i installed the new water pump, cleaned the surface around it and painted it in gray, modified the alternator bracket and painted it too, had the radiator mounts fabricated and welded on the rad.

    i'll use some 4mm rubber piece under the mounts not to mount it directly on the body, my only problem now is the Electric Fan, it will not fit easily between the rad and the crank pully, the only way to make fit now is to mount it more to the drivers side and not in the middel, i thought about cutting few mm from the crank pully but i dont think its a good idea.

    what do you guys think?

    I used an 7/8" master cylinder (MC) from Wilwood (WIL-260-6765) and it's good while driving, a bit stiff but i'm used to it. i dont know how a bigger MC would feel but i'm happy with this setup for now knowing that i haven't floored or sprayed the car yet.

     

    David K thanks for the kind words about my ride, i'm not sure if you are asking Ed or asking me about the SSI intake but to be honest, i've never driven a mustang with the SSI intake on it, but i've never had problems with BBK's products at all, if i build another ford engine, i'll definatly go with the SSI intake/fuel rail combo from BBK.

    Justin, thanks for the advice, since this is my first aluminum rad, i'm not familiar with them, i was thinking about a soild mount, i'll check the JTR mounts, if not, i'll just fabricate some here in kuwait with rubber support

     

    VinhZXT, well, yesterday i was chekin the space and how to mount it, i'm not really sure that i have enough space to make a shroud, i'm not even sure if i'll be able to mount the fan between the rad and the water pump pully, my engine is not sitting all the way to the back, so space between rad and pully is tight. i'll see how it goes and post photos when its installed.

    thanks again for the advice

    nice engine bay :) looks very clean, as for the rearend, i would recommend a ford 8.8/31 spline axels, it could handle as much power as the 9'' and you will save few pounds because the 9'' is heavy. for the engine, i aint wiring freak but i'll always go with an LSx over anyother engine.
