Electric fan install help.

Wisdom doesn't always come with age.

If you use the right parts, I.e. the correct radiator for your application and a fan that is correct for your application, you car will not overheat.

There is no disputing the capability of the correct electric fan setup far exceeds a mechanical fans capabilities.

There is no disputing that the factory setup was built to handle the demands of the engines they were to cool in stock form. I.e. A factory setup is not built to cool a 600hp stroked 360. Not saying it can't, not saying it can. That isn't what it was designed for.

I agree. To say that a mechanical fan is superior than an electric......or the other way around is simply wrong.

The key is not buying cheap cookie cutter parts with very poor quality control. The Champion radiators have a sketchy reputation at best. Lots of threads on here involving them with over heating.

That's what happens when you fall for the cheap import stuff. You take a chance on getting something that simply will not work.

Is it all bad? Of course not. But there is such a huge influx of imported parts now there is bound to be a lot of bad parts.

If you want a good cooling system and want a snazzy aluminum radiator, buy a Griffin. If you want a stylish electric fan, make sure to do your research and spend enough coin to get one that flows enough air to keep your beast cool.

Most all of this comes from people unwilling to spend money. This is perhaps why I am so far behind on both my projects. I absolutely refuse to buy inferior stuff. It takes me forever to save up for things, but I am not wasting my money on total crap. Money is too hard to come by.
