Pusher or puller fan(s)????
ok, here's the deal... I prefer mechanical fans, but the guy I'm building the '36 Plymouth for prefers an electric fan for cooling... His car, so that's what I'll use...
The engine is a 5.7 Hemi with the 4 speed automatic overdrive and has a Vintage Air unit. Vintage Air suggests 2,000 CFM as an absolute minimum for the fan. The condensor is of course mounted to the front of the radiator and measures 14" X 20", so not a lot of room for a pusher fan. If I use a puller, the radiator itself measures 15" X 21".... Keeping the CFM requirement in mind, wondering what suggestions you guys might have as to which would offer the best cooling.....??????
Oh yeah, I'll also be installing a separte transmission cooler with fan, too. The radiator does not have a trans cooler built into it, so no extra air flow needed for that....
Thanks for the help!!!~!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
