Run electric fans all the time?

Thanks but no thanks
I will stay with my good old reliable belt driven 7 blade fan they just work
Like I told you before I have been that route spent the money, upgraded electricial it just is not worth it.
I know all the modern day crap blah, blah, blah, yada, yada, yada
I am old school and proud of it I dont/want all that bullshit
And yes I do have several modern vehicles that have electric fans and they work very well, but not in my classic cruiser.

I'm definitely not going to try and convince you otherwise, you obviously have a set opinion on this.

But the modern vehicle argument is sound.

The heat load on a modern cooling system is greater than a large majority of classic cars, even modified.

Tighter packaging, with anywhere from 1-2 HP per CI, plus AC. It requires more care than slapping any random poorly shrouded electric fan on, but their ability to cool high hp applications is without question.

Edit:
3.6 V6, 1.4hp per CI,

6.4 hemi, 1.24hp per CI

Hellcat, 1.86hp per CI

Every one of them on pump gas, with all the amenities, not a single mechanical fan to be found.

The idea that electrical fans are inferior or unable to keep up with mechanical is ludicrous.
