Thread: Fan to rad.

Tweet

Yes, they come as a cut to fit blank face.

For reference here's a lot of choices in one spot;http://www.speedwaymotors.com/m/370_...r-Shrouds.html

Thanks for the link... this site rules! At 74.99, Speedway sells Walker shrouds 10.00 cheaper than Walker themselves. I think I'm gonna buy the shroud and a 15" aluminum 6 blade fan found on that same page for 29.99. For just a tick over 100.00 I may be able to solve my cooling worries and still run a standard fan setup... if it doesn't work, watch for a new thread asking about how to install an electric fan! lol Thanks for all the help as always. -JB

.....and a thread referencing an ebay auction for "excess" parts?

That too!

not a great pic. but you can see the fan & rad in relation to each other. no shroud & it runs at 190 all day. built 283
sorry can't get the pic to load

Summit has a real good fan ... for less than 25 dollars ...

Have you used those fans Deuce? Speedway has a non flexing aluminum one (vs. steel) for an extra 5.00... any advantage/disadvantage to aluminum vs. steel? Both are painted black, so appearance isnt gonna be a factor.

I've never been a fan of electric fans, but if any of you guys are going to use one, you should look at these links.......

I used one on my 1940 Ford coupe with a SBC ... moved a lot of air ...

I think I'm gonna order one, and a walker shroud... can't hurt, and i think i can install both without tearing the front end apart, which i really don't want to have to do.

30coupe, Sorry, I just couldn't let this pass...

My roadster is about 1 inch off the radiator ... and I use a 18 inch 7 blade fan ... and a Walker shroud ...[/QUOTE]

hey deuce, like your ramshorn finish, what did you do to get them to look that way (yep, another thing on my "to do" list")

I ground them fairly smooth and then had them Jet-Hot coated ... they have been on the car for 20 thousand miles and look almost as good as the day I took them out of the box from Jet-Hot ... I did the 3W coupe set the same way ... just got them back last week ... and they look even better than the ones on the roadster ... But ... I took a good bit more time grinding on them it and the extra effort shows ...

After reading this thread and being somwhat confused, I broke down and went the oppisite direction. I have a Be-Cool rad. and just ordered their A/C condenser, mounting frame and their elec. fan for my '32. Most of the rods I see around here with A/C are using elec. fans so I decided to go that way. I already had my brackets, pulleys and new alum. water pump etc.
I hope to get to work some on the the hot rod this weekend.
