440 Cooling Fan
« on: February 03, 2010 - 08:53:51 AM »
I need to get a fan for my 440.  I do not want to go electric, and I want the best cooling fan I can get.  Is there a recommended fan?  I guess I need to measure my fan shroud to see what I can fit.  I was looking @ the Mopar Viscous Fan Package offered by Mancini.  Any and all recomendations are welcome.  Thanks!

I use the Flex-A-Lite 18" universal 6 blade fan on a new clutch hub , they are not a flex fan & they do move a lot of air , the fans are cheap at around $50 , the hub will cost closer to $100

How important is a fan clutch?  I have heard some say that they weight too much and that they always remove them.  Thanks for the recomendations!

So what do you think?  Anyone running a fan without a clutch?  Does it rob too much power?  Is it something that can be omitted?  Thanks.

I was having some cooling issues on my car, so i tried a fixed fan and spacer from Speedway motors.  It pulls more air than the new clutch fan setup did, and I mostly just cruise around, so I wasn't too concerned about losing a couple horsepower.

Fan - Fixed Blade Max Volume 910-1576-18    $34.99
Fan Spacer - 1.75"                  910-15720-175    $8.99
