RE: [Chevelle-List] Bill: Electric Fan set up versus Clutch Fan set up=response to Bill and more input needed

Title: Message

What I would guess they might do is duplicate the flanges that bolt the radiator to the support on the engine side of the radiator as well.  As long as you don't have the filler cap to one extreme side (like I did - http://www.dalesplace.com/images/chevelle/p001472.jpg), it would give you space to mount the fans assuming the height fit between the upper and lower hose bungs.  My question would be where are they going to route the transmission cooling lines.  They'd almost have to be out the side of the tank instead of the engine side as normal since the fan assembly would block the trans cooler.

 

It gets curiouser and curiouser <G>

Bill:

You wrote this regarding mounting of two Spal 11 inch fans on PRC aluminum radiator.

<The dual 11" Spals are 23.46" wide, as Dale points out in his reply below.  You cannot mount those fans on that radiator because of interference from the tanks on either side.  Go ahead and ask PRC to build you one like that and let us know what they say.  Again, you'd need a 31" radiator with a 27.5" core to mount those - and that's not going to fit in your 67 Malibu.>

I have a direct contact with a guy at PRC who has asked me to send the diagram sketches. He told me they would mount the Spal fans not on the core but on the tanks or "rails". Therefore, it may fit. He does not recommend mounting on the radiator core. But, I will write back when I receive the response. I could be off the mark.

Peace,

Big Ken
