Mechanical to electric cooling fan

If you want dials, Google "Chevy electric fan Volvo relay BMW sensor"

I used a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee fan. Works really good for me, no problems keeping it cool. Bolted it right into the stock shroud.

That looks really slick. I take back my original post.

X2. I think I will do that. Thanks to all for info.

The Ford Windstar dual fan works well from what I've read with the smaller stock radiator. I read it here somewhere. Course thats not using the stock shroud.

I run this on BBC and never had a bit of trouble

i'm running a dual fan off of a 2005 impala. modified the shroud to fit my radiator. run a big block with a 160 thermostat. runs 170 - 180 down the highway. have a variable thermostat, fans come on at about 195. if you want more pics, send me a text to 336-558-6220. i have more pics in my phone.

The best bang for the buck in electric fans is the late model crown vic fan. Put a Google study out on it. It's available in the aftermarket and moves a ton of cfm. those boys in blue don't like to be warm....

I'm thinking the single fan would work much better than duals. Dual fans would provide redundancy sure, but if only one fan is running it is effectively drawing air across the radiator as well as from the opening of the non-running fan. It would only be running at optimal efficiency of both fans were running at the same time. I guess anything above 45 mph at less than 85 degrees ambient air temperature would negate the difference but I think my particular truck on the pipeline running at most 10 mph would benefit more from a single fan. Unless it dies lol.

I paid 10 bucks a piece for the 3 I have like I pictured above. If you run it on the floor it sucks it’s self fast pretty good.

With dual fans you get more surface area. If both the duals and single run at the same rpm, then the duals will cool more effectively.

Also definitely need a shroud that directs air into the fan, so it pulls air from across the entire radiator.

I'll be running dual 16" Spals on my 496 camper... but mostly for redundancy to be sure to return home.

That all depends on blade type and count. My single S blade pulls roughly 4000 cfm.

Having differences in opinions about which fan kit I should get.

I have
195 t-stat
Aluminum radiator
AC
Mechanical fan clutch

Going to convert to
Single fan from 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Some say I can get a 200 degree on 185 degree off 30 amp relay kit and it will work with no problems.
Some say I need to change to 180 t-stat and use same kit.

Confused which way I should go.
