Electric fan help
OK I'm racking my brain and I'm starting to hurt the pea :LOL:
I put a "Be Cool" raditor in my 85 Delta 88 back in Feb, and I bought a mech Flex-a-Lite stainless fan to match the new set-up.
Ever since the car's been loud ever since and it's starting to get under my skin. When I say loud, I mean is sounds like a class B truck accel from a traffic light.
I did some reseach and found that an electric fan is better for the water pump, MPG, and increased HP, plus the car's been getting 12 MPG highway since the 3.42's went in
Anywho, Has anybody used an electric fan and how do you mount it? I was thinking a dual fan set-up with the shourd would be best. I was also thinking maybe a colud use a signal fan and mount it on the current shourd, but the more I think about that, I don't think it will work very well.
Since the Shourd seems to be holding the raditor in place (or at least upright) how do I do this.
The raditor core is 27 x 18 and overall 32 x 19. It's a "Be-Cool" for a 80-86 Chevy Impala.

Cooling fan
My son had same problem with his 86 Montecarlo ,He took the fan assy out of a FWD Caddy , Took some fabrication work but works & looks good .He said it increased his MPG quite a bit .So get out your tape measure & go to your local salvage yard & let your imignation go to work for you
