This is a used Mopar Viscous Clutch Fan was purchased for my project and I’ve decided to go a different direction with this project. Looking to re-coup my investment. $200 OBO (PayPal, check or money order only). I’ll cover shipping within the US.

I appreciate the suggestions. Thanks Dwayne

I’m running the newer water pump with the passenger inlet. I had the original radiator re-cored to handle the extra horsepower. The old 66 273 had the fan blade attached to the water pump pulley with 2” spacer. The bolt pattern of the clutch is off about 3/8” from the water pump pulley. The...

Looking to my ABody Friends for a little help, I’m rebuilding a 1976 360LA engine to put in my 66 Barracuda. I found an era correct Mopar Viscous 5 blade offset clutch fan that I would like to use on this engine. I’m having a problem finding a replacement clutch where the shaft of the clutch...

Appreciate all of the information and I’ll clean it all up and make sure the oil level is right. Thanks for the help!!

I got the car in storage, but I’ll try and get some photos this weekend. From what the mechanic told me, it’s leaking from all of the seals. And no synthetic oils were used. I appreciate all of the responses.

I have a question… In May 2021, I had a brand new 9” Currie Rear-end/differential installed in my 66 Barracuda, so I could install new 15” rims/tires. In less than 2500 miles since installation, all of the seals and gaskets are leaking. Is this normal? This is just a Sunday driver; not a racer...

Looking for an Edelbrock LD4B intake. Going to rebuild my 66 273 2bbl in ‘24. PM if you got one and you’re willing to sell it. Thanks Dwayne
