I’ve been pondering what approach to take with regard to the radiator fan for my V6 conversion project and come across this one. It’s from JEGS.... part # 17013...part of their heavy duty stainless flex fan line up...it’s 13” in diameter and has a 2”depth. It clears the water pump inlet fitting nicely. Once we get the engine into the car for mock-up purposes we can determine what size of spacer, if any, will be needed to obtain the best position between the engine and radiator.
It is not an outrageously expensive part...about $45 and bolts right on with no adapters. I know a number of folks have been going with the Volvo fan alternative but since this didn’t require any cutting or modifying of the fan itself I thought it to be a bit more straight forward.
Of course, the proof in the pudding will be if it adequately cools but with a new custom radiator, hopefully there won’t be any issues.
