Not the best, but also not the worst I've seen. Everything can be corrected. Just cost money, what's you plan for redo., original, or modified or something in between? Good luck and keep us posted......Jim

I second that. Outer ring slippage or the rubber getting hard make them work poorly. Any damage to the stock cast iron balancer hub area makes it a ticking time bomb. With a performance engine you really want better than stock on there and getting the SFI spec part wouldn't hurt either.

I have see too many destroyed shrouds / hoods / radiators from flex fans coming apart to ever use one again. The flex fan robs power and doesn't work that well any way. Get a good 7-blade clutch fan on there instead. More power efficient and will cool the engine much better. Electric fans are OK too if you get them into a shroud to work efficiently.

Why you say that??
