My 67 Camaro is coming along and thanks for all the help I've had in this forum. Given that summer is around the corner I want to prepare. My 327 runs right around 170 and has a fresh 185 thermostat with a 3 core radiator. I do not have any cooling issues (no leaks, no overheating, none of that) as I type this it is making me realize I should leave things well enough alone huh?. I was thinking about converting over to an electric cooling fan and as soon as I started looking I see that the options are pretty much endless. The only thing I have learned is that apparently a Pull fan (mounted on the inside of the engine compartment) is supposed to be more efficient than a Push fan, not sure if that is true or not. So the question is, what is the best and most efficient electric cooling fan that you guys can recommend?

Any thoughts?

 

I have had a number of Chevrolet cars from a 1973 Nova SS to a 1981 El Camino SS .And have had the best luck with a 7 bladed clutch fan.

 

Seven Blade with clutch is the same thing I currently have. I am hoping to take the load of the motor and get rid of the fan shroud.
Fan costs are anything from $79 - $400+

 

If not broke, don’t fix it.
If going to electric fan, may need in exchanging to a higher current alternator, 63 amp 10DN, or a 10SI/12SI, and with SI’s, a rewire of VR wiring will be required.

 

Pardon the pun but I'm not a fan,I'm with these guys stick with the clutch fan.

 

Got it, loud and clear..you guys are right.

thanks for saving me money, time and headaches.

no electric fan my 67

Cheers
