Thread: Clutch fan

  1. #1

    Clutch fan

    Hi,

    Are anyone running a clutch fan on the straight 8? I have no temperature problems at the moment but it would be interesting to have a clutch fan with more aggressive blades to the 320.
    Better cooling at idle and less power loss when the engine is cool.
    An electrical fan is not an option since I think it gives a to modern look and sound.

    I guess clearance to the radiator might be a problem but there should be some that would fit.

    I'm considering using an electric front mounted fan and remote water pump on my stock 1936 320 ci.

    Just get a 6 bladed fan off a mid 50's Buick or Caddy with A/C. Bolts right up and is real durable.
