Help cooling 408 stroker
I put in a the electrical fan with a switch because it was heating up with the mechanical fan in stop and go traffic. I figured its not enough CFM but i have so little space dont know what to do.
I was thinking of getting a 2nd electrical fan as a pusher for the front side of the radiator and just offset both fans?
Did you run a shroud with your old mechanical fan system?
I run that Champion 4-row radiator
I don’t think they sell a good mechanical fan shroud because the radiators are so generic. ??
I made my own. AND I run a cut down by 2” diameter MP fan kit. Yes 1” cut off the widest part of the blade. That’s because the early Champion radiator had the top hose too near the center of the radiator tank and it interfered with std diameter fan. Later I had it moved over, but kept the cut down fan (more HP)
Like was brought up previously, I METICULOUSLY, cleaned the water passages of my block. Hot tanks nowadays are weak. And even though, you gotta get in there and pick it clean. Coat hangers, wire, tiny flashlights, hose picks, screwdrivers... you name it.
No issues for me.
Also, in So Cal you don’t need Anti Freeze. Run distilled water and 1 bottle Justice Brother Radiator Super Cool and 1 bottle Justice Brothers Radiator Protector.
I’ve got 8 years on my 340 stroker (416)
