Thread: Cooling System Projects - Any Opinions?

I'm not sure your concensus on electric fans is correct..........everything I've seen is that a good fan, such as a SPAL, is the way to go. I put a SPAL on my 5.0 Jeep, and it dropped temps trememdously. I will run one on my T and my '39 has dual fans built into the shroud.

I think a shroud is key to getting good performance out of one, as are the relays you mentioned.

I would agree on the electric pump, though.

This is the radiator and fan my kid had built by Performance Radiator Co for his '29, and they are building me the same one for my T. They use this setup on an 800 hp blown big block car, with no cooling problems.

same story with my spall dual 11" fans and housing cools wonderful with the aluminum rad with 1.5 tubes. 63 327 vette motor

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Don, your shroud looks great, you fab that yourself? So I'm not too crazy going with electric fans but the pump may be another story.... I guess I can cross that bridge when I get there. I'll plan radiator and fan for now and reconsider the pump later...

This is the pump I was thinking about and is rated at 19gpm....

Thanks again for all your inputs...
