Walker has a new Cooling Components 17" fan/shroud combo that they just introduced in August. This fan requires less clearance than the previous Cooling Component fans and it moves a lot of air. It does require a higher amp relay due to the motor size, but it is a great cooler. You'll have to call Walker Radiator about it because it's not in the current catalog.

Sounds like a definite check it out plan...
Thanks John

Almost bought one at the Southeast Nats in Tampa a couple of weeks ago. They were asking the same price as the originals (about $225). The new ones are only 1 3/4 inches wide. Great for tight places. I believe they are all in the CC 17XX series. The one for my 34 Plymouth was a CC1750. Nice unit and I will be getting one before next Spring, but didn't need it right now and I don't have a space problem.

I took a picture of the one I bought for my '40 Chevy before I installed it back in September:



The fan requires less depth because the motor extends no farther than the support brackets. I pre-ordered mine at the Nats in August because it was a bit cheaper and they threw in free shipping.

John,that is a great looking set up.I have never seen so many blades on a fan.How much air does it move?

I used to live in Lexington (Gainsway) left in 68.A beautiful part of the country,we still visit friends there.

Don, I'm not sure of the exact CFM rating, but it moves a lot of air. Walker (who also owns Cooling Components) had reportedly been working on this fan for a while. The larger fan size (17") combined with the higher amp motor pulls a lot of air and also allows more flow on the highway.

I'm pretty familiar with the Gainesway area...... we lived there for about 10 years. I spent a little time in Austin visiting an old Air Force buddy several years ago and really enjoyed that area. I've always enjoyed the time I've spent in Texas except when I've had to drive across it!

Saw this similar set-up in this months Street-Rodder. Got to have one no doubt looks sweet.
