Electric Pusher fan with good experience - Daytona cooling issue.

[70Sbird]

Hey Scott.
The poor quality strap is a possibility. Thanks for bringing that up. I too will get the straps again. Do you remember the vendor you used? Also, guess it would be a good idea to replace the brake fluid. Guess that'll be another thread on "purging" out old brake fluid.

Troy,
I don't remember who I got the new straps from. I
bought them from a vendor in 2004 at the Charlotte AutoFair, so I don't have a receipt either to refer back to.
I remember the first set was "whiter" than the second set (white like painted , or a piece of paper), the new ones are kind of a clear/white or milky clear. The first set lasted about 3 weeks , the current straps get pretty soft after an hour or so of run time but are still in place after 5 years.

 found some good cooling fans  today ( cheap) LOL  free in my salvage yard
  97-99 caddy catera's have dual ( two) pushers up in front of the a/c condenser
they are perfect with shrouds built on .  These caddys are showing up in the u pull it yards because the motors are not that greatest . So you should be able to buy them pretty cheap . Great choice if your on a budget or for a clone to make sure you engine stays cool with that nose up there .

So its 6 years later and was wondering how these fans worked out or what's being used now?  After adding AC I know I may as well add a pusher while its being assembled.

Is it possible to eliminate  water pump driven  fan all together with the addition of electric fan ?  Just like modern cars do

it is possible . i did it on my rod . that has a big 440 motor but it took 2 massive electric fans and a big alt to power them . 

[daytonalo]

Are you sure you have fans installed for proper flow ?? 

[BigBlockSam]

if you go to the be cool website there is a chart . how to figure out the cfms of air  you need or your size motor 

[daytonalo]

I'm sure there is a chart, but  I've been around long enough that there are so many variables in each application . I.E . air flow , engine tuning , etc

I've been running the Mercedes Benz "Monster" fan with a Glen Ray "Max Cooling" core with good results since early July.  95* day, not a problem. The fan starts up with a spike of 50 amp then settles down to 39.  Run on a circuit breaker.

Also a cs130 alt with 105 amp at Idle. Bolts up to the existing brackets, with a few washer/spacers here and there.  Alt comes fairly close to the hemi head and also made a diagonal cut on the lower outside head boss for some wrench swing clearance for tightening the hot stud.

Did a Rick Ehrenburg fix with an added 8 gauge wire with fusible link to the solenoid.

Did need to cut the pulley bolt heads down and cut the pump shaft for a little more clearance to be able to pry a belt through there after trimming some more on the shroud to radiator boss area. Not for the OEM/Concourse though.






PS: Got about 1800 miles on it now.
