Re: Mishimoto Electric Fans in Your 67-72 C10?

Thanks for the reply. I agree that 205° isn’t bad at all for a head water temp. What concerns me is it was only maintaining that temperature in the head with my flex-a-lite shrouded 2500cfm fans full tilt and 80° ambient. It wouldn’t drop at all. The Spal fans I bought only add up to 3400, but they are cages only, no shroud. I didn’t bother setting up a shroud because my charging system can’t keep up at idle despite it being 140amp. At this point,
I’m about ready to upgrade to a cs144 alternator for better idle output, and buy one of these Derale’s.

My only concern is that this won’t fit. It’s overall 4”, but that’s to the rear of the motors. I only have 3” from the WP snout to the core.
You wouldn’t happen to have any pictures or at least details of your fan setup would you? Any help is much appreciated!
I’m looking for anything I can get. I want this thing to get to a point where it can idle and the fans cycle on and off on a warm day. I know that’s possible because others have done it.
Thanks.
