I have a 1987 Salon with a 355 SBO in it thats built. This engine came out of my wrecked 1985 442.

I had a pickup truck's fan on it at the time yet it was destroyed in the accident.
And I have no records of the part # on file ( this was 10 years ago)

The fan that was destroyed Had very strong suction, yet the stock one I have now is a wuss!

Would anyone have a part # I could check on ?

I might load the car with tools and go to some yards nearby. And see if they have any trucks or vans in them.

Thanks for any help

Electric or mechanical?

You need either a factory 6 or 7 blade fan with the extra heavy clutch or the fixed 4 blade fan like the factory fan on my 70.

I have dual 9c1 caprice fans. Im running a stout sbo that runs 12.20's i drive it to the track and back and it will idle all day in traffic no issues. Just fwiw. The stock set up worked but this set up frees up hp

I have a new clutch on it yet I need more fan blades

Does your car overheat or is it just that you don't like the fans on it now?

I seem to remember the Ford Windstar fan is a popular electric fan from the junkyard. I have not used one though.

Yes to both, I can,t run the AC without it going up to 230.

Do you have the fan shroud and upper and lower air dams installed correctly?

I have several different 6/7 blade fans from various engines that I have removed over the years... I will try to take a few photos this weekend and post them... Possibly one will look like your old fan that was damaged...

Thanks Do they have more blades than a factory 307 style would have?

If you're going through this trouble once, just get a factory Camaro, Windstar, or newer GM truck fan and shroud. There's so much space after you remove the mechanical fan.

They have 6 or 7 blades as I mentioned in my post...

I went out and counted the blades, Yup there is seven of them.

Checked my stock and I don't have any 7 blade fans left, mostly all 5-Blades but different styles...
