Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

I'd be interested if it was a different temperature range such as on at 180 and off at 160. It gets kinda hot in Las Vegas

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

sorry it was 195 or 205 only for this machine so i got the 195 deg. i like on at 180 also but to do that you,ve got to run all the light duty parts and the relay. i like to keep it as simple as possible. less there is = lest to go wrong. you could always use the manuel switch for in town use.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Could you post the pics and specs in this thread so when Krue moves the post to FAQ everything stays together?. Just curious, did you guys feel any power increase at all???. Thanks

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Is the fan with part number 52079528AB the one that this replaces. or will this one work too?
What is the over all diameter of this recall fan?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

My neighbor works for chrysler as a parts guy all the in stock ones were tagged for customers for the recall since each dealer only gets 5% of the vehicles they sold through that dealership so he ordered one for me I didn't have a problem, try another dealer or an aftermarket brand, they should be able to sell you whatever you want anyway I don't see why an individual cant get a part he's paying for even though it is a recall item, it might just be a inventory thing since they only receive 5% to keep on hand

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

What are demensions for this fan? I tryed mark8 and it would not clear between water pump pulley and electric motor. Thanks

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

71 RAT great job, Just ordered mine today,hope it fits in a big block shroud as nice as the sm blk shroud..By the way where do you run your truck at , atco ,englishtown??

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

franks 72: thank you, I actually picked up a big block shroud today so im also interested in seeing how it works (i guess the next step would be to buy a big block and install it). As far as what track I race at, Im from northern nj so when i get around to racing i race at island dragway, but I did race at englishtown twice, once with my 71 longbed and once with my dads srt8 300. did you go to the swap meet this weekend at e-town?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Has anyone done this on a 73 up truck/Blazer???

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

19 inch openning is perfect steve-o.
how was mayberry days ?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

71 RAT ..I didn't go to the swapmeat at englishtown had to work..

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Kinda overrated IMO.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

amazing thread (like you didn't already know that). I'm curious about the shroud differeces between BBC and SBC as I didn't know there were any differences. I'm putting my truck together right now and I'm using a 454 with aluminum heads, roller blah blah etc. How do you think this fan will work around 500HP w/o towing? I'm also assembling the truck with a SBC shroud cuz I didn't know of any differences. Whew, any help is appreciated.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

i just measured my bb shroud and it measures a 21" hole over the sb 19 1/4 hole.... so the fans going to be a little smaller in it if used. no idea how it will work cooling a big block hopefully someone will chime in if they have tried it.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

I have a sbc shroud with a 4 row bbc radiator I havent bolted it up cause I need to order the correct radiator mounts, I had to flaten out the 3 row mounts so the holes for the shroud are bent but the look like theyll work when I get the correct mounts, I just trecieved my fan the other day and Im ordering mounts within the next week so I'll let everyone know how it works out with the sbc shroud to bbc radiator

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Are you using a BBC engine? What's the HP?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

No its a SBC but when I purchased my radiator a 4 row was only 5 more bucks so I bought it

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Like many others I ordered mine from Moparparts.com. They are a little slow on the uptake, but the fan arrived today brand new in the box for just under $55.00 with shipping. :metal:

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

We would love to have the dimensions and location for the notch in the bottom :)

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

I ordered one of those (without measuring first) for my 70 big block truck. Just so you know, if you have a big block with a "long pump" setup there is not enough clearance.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Here is what he emailed me-

heres pic,s of the schroud mod. slot hole 1/4" wide, 2 1/2" from back ( engine side ) of schroud. slot is 2 1/2" long and then make a slot on each end of 1/4" slot 1/2" long by 1/8" wide. if you have any questions please call me i,ll be glad to help ya.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Not enough clearance eh? that sucks... was this with a 4 core and stock shroud? I've got one of those serpentine kits on my BB, you think that might help with space??

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Just held a shroud up to my L6 today- it ain't gonna work. :(
Any guesses as to why? :lol:

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Too Long eh?
Brad

Try a dual fan shroud setup from a 3.8L Windstar Van. They supposedly pull alot of air, and the shroud lyes alot flatter than this set up. It's what I was going to use before I saw this thread

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

what kind of serpentine kit do you use?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Yes I am using 4 core radiator and stock BB shroud. Sorry , dont know what the clearance difference (if any) would be on the serpintine. Mine with long pump measures 3 1/8 from water pump shaft to the rad. the elec fan is 3". just cant squeak it in there and be safe. I will probably go with a dual stup like Palf70 showed.

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Brad Mine Worked Just Fine With My 250 I-6

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

march performance serp kit.

is there any info on the windstar mod??

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Hmmmmmm, interesting. I didn't unbolt anything but just held up the smallblock shroud and a late model Camaro fan and it looked like it would be too close. I figured the Jeep fan wouldn't be too different and didn't want to spend the $$$ only to have it not work.

Could you show good pics of it installed in your rig?

Re: another cheap electric fan build!
 

Is anyone running this with AC?
I'm still not cooling the way it should and I'm beginning to think I have a radiator issue. When its only about 75-80* it gets up to about 200* in traffic.
Thats with a lead connected to the ac unit so the fan runs constantly when the ac is on (gotta have It flowing through the condenser to keep the high side pressure in check). I think I'll run a smaller fan on the condenser to run when the ac is on.

Also with the ac on high and the fan running mine drops to 12V at idle. What alternator are you all running. Mine is new but factory spec. I think 60-70 amp. Anyone know of a high amp unit that fits? part number?

Ok, now some positive info.

I decided to go with a adjustable thermostat. They were nearly $70 at my local parts store. Found one at Autozone for $35 and its a nice unit and easy to wire and includes the ac override which can be used for the ac or hooked to a toggle for a manual over ride. TorqFlo part# 733647. This is the radiator probe type.

Also here is a site with some good relay wiring schematics.
