Lets discuss my cooling

Thank you 66. So now that we have pics, does anyone know what vehicles may have come with these?

They came on a lot of 70's and 80's MOPAR cars and trucks. You have to keep a lookout for them, even slant sixes. And eBay of course. My experience is that the OEM flex fan will pull more air than a fixed blade or a clutch fan at idle. Even if you give the fixed and clutch a shroud. They probably take more power to turn, but overheating is a real pain. Measure OD of your fan and start your search. Good luck.

If you're not worried about stock and are going to try a flex fan just get one from Summit. This fan is made in the USA and moves a phenomenal amount of air. I was running one on my Duster, but went to the electric fan set up because I was running too cold with the flex, even without a shroud.

But you can assume that it will also take a big chunk of horsepower to spin it.

I ordered up a new radiator from Gary, Looking forward to getting it and seeing how she cools. Thank you everyone for your help and input!

Pictures of OEM flex fan. It is important to check outer diameter and clearance.
