Re: [Chevelle-List] Electric Fan set up versus Clutch Fan set up=response to Bill and more input needed
One question I have is, do you gain HP by using an electric fan. I have always heard that you do, if so how much. I'm running a 396 PS,PDB,AC, 400auto in my 67SS Tom Kosty, Denver - Original Message - From: Bill Bruyn To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 29, 2003 2:37 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Electric Fan set up versus Clutch Fan set up=response to Bill and more input needed Well,it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong, nor will it be the last. Still, I don't think I am in this case. As Imentioned in my first reply, I have just gone through this. On a SBC67 Malibu.With a PRC aluminum crossflow. Including an AT cooler. With plans for an electric fan. I did my homework before I ordered my parts, just as you are doing now. In fact, Dale was kind enough to reply offline to a post of mine regarding the radiator. BTW, thanks again to Dale for that. If you're interested, here's what I learned. The overall width of the radiator (26" in your case, if I'm not mistaken) includes the tanks, which are installed on the sides of a crossflow radiator like the one you say you're looking at. The width of the core on a 26" radiator is 22.5". The dual 11" Spals are 23.46" wide, as Dale points out in hisreplybelow. 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 - andthat's not going to fit in your 67 Malibu. You indicated that you're still confused on whether you should go with an electric or mechanical fan, though you didn't say specifically what confused you.Again, the mechanical fan will never outperform a quality electric fan at low RPMs, but the mechanical setupworks for a lot of people.If it works for you, go for it. Be advised that although PRC will provide you with the materials, you'll need to fabricate your own mounts forthe shroud. And the fan may be too far away from the radiator to work effectively anyway, as you could end up with too much space betweenthe fan and radiator afterremovingtheshroud extension (assuming yours is equipped with one.) IMO, the only reasons to go with a mechanical fan are 1) cost, and 2)wiring / increased current flow. Some will argue that the mechanical fan is more reliable, but I don't necessarily agree with that. WRT the setup of your electric fan, you could wire it to be switched on and off manually, to run all the time, or to run only in a given temperature range. Engine RPM itself has nothing to do with it. I'm going with a 185* - 200* sensor. You haven't said what climate you're in, but my guessis thatthe 2360 CFM 16" Spalis more thanenough, especially with a high performance water pump. If not, you probably have another problem.

I am looking at a PRC aluminum radiator set up. Now, I can go with either a clutch set up or have a dual Spal electric fan set up. The dilemma is that I need information prior to moving forward. Why ? If I order the PRC radiator and go with electrical fan set up, I can order the radiator made with an internal automatic trans cooler, and the Spal Electric fans will be attached to the radiator by PRC, along with built in shrouds. So, it will be a custom made set up. And, it will fit and work. Now, I have had a PRC aluminum radiator made last summer for my 67 Chevelle SS. I went with a clutch fan set up since I wanted the 67 SS to have an original look since it is a numbers matching vehicle. I painted the rails radiator black to have it look original. The PRC radiator keeps the temps much lower. I kept the old radiator for resale if I ever sell the Chevelle. In contrast, I am not concerned with the 67 Chevelle Malibu being original looking since it has a 383 stroker and other mods. So, I am asking inputs on whether a fan set up vs. clutch fan set up is the way to go. My only question is on the set up. I have talked with others who advise that the electric fans will work at idle and kick off at cruise speeds when the temperature comes down. Therefore, the two electric fans would be working at idle and probably have enough CFMs to cool at idle. I have

RE: [Chevelle-List] Electric Fan set up versus Clutch Fan set up=response to Bill and more input needed
Title: Message My only experience is on my Corvette. I had a flex fan on it and no shroud. Corvette shrouds are even more expensive than for Chevelles, so I decided to try an electric fan first. I bought a Flex-a-lite Black Magic fan (http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=216) for the Corvette. This fan has an adjustable thermostat, AC relay, moves 2,800 CFM,and it measures 18 in. x 16 1/8 in. x 4 in. My limited experience (before the engine blew from non-heat related issues) was just fine. The 327 ran about 350 HP, and I was happy with the solution. I hope that it will still work fine with my ~450HP replacement motor...

I am looking at a PRC aluminum radiator set up. Now, I can go with either a clutch set up or have a dual Spal electric fan set up. The dilemma is that I need information prior to moving forward. Why ? If I order the PRC radiator and go with electrical fan set up, I can order the radiator made with an internal automatic trans cooler, and the Spal Electric fans will be attached to the radiator by PRC, along with built in shrouds. So, it will be a custom made set up. And, it will fit and work. Now, I have had a PRC aluminum radiator made last summer for my 67 Chevelle SS. I went with a clutch fan set up since I wanted the 67 SS to have an original look since it is a numbers matching vehicle. I painted the rails radiator black to have it look original. The PRC radiator keeps the temps much lower. I kept the old radiator for resale if I ever sell the Chevelle. In contrast, I am not concerned with the 67 Chevelle Malibu being original looking since it has a 383 stroker and other mods. So, I am asking inputs on whether a fan set up vs. clutch fan set up is the way to go. My only question is on the set up. I have talked with others who advise that the electric fans will work at idle and kick off at cruise speeds when the temperature comes down. Therefore, the two electric fans would be working at idle and probably have enough CFMs to cool at idle. I have already decided to upgrade the alternator to either 100 or 138 amps. Again, I need other comments from Chevelle or other car owners who have gone with the electric fan set up. Are you happy or wish you did not go to this set up and stayed with the traditional clutch fan or flex fan/shroud set up.

Bought original '67 plates ($35 at a swap meet)for it and registered it that way. If you register the car as an antique you don't need to get it inspected and it only costs around 60 buck for 5 years. There is a mileage limit on that though (I believe it's around 1500 a year or so). If you register it as a "classic" you have unlimited mileage, but will need to get the car inspected every year.

My 69 has antique and/or classic plates, same thing here. Here is the dealio in Washington State: Operating Restrictions for an antique vehicle - * Capable of operating on the highway * Driving to and from - Auto Shows Circuses Parades Displays Special Excursions (Sunday drives) Antique car club meetings * Driven for testing purposes * Driving others for pleasure w/o compensation * The plates can't be used on replica vehicles * The vehicle can't be used for commercial purposes or to carry a load * The vehicle can't be used like a regularly licensed vehicle entitling the antique vehicle to full use of the highway I have never run into a problem with the troopers around here. Their regulations are very loose as you can see. At any time I can be taking a special excursion, testing something, or driving others for pleasure. I can always say that I am testing my rally gauges that don't work. This is a state regulated thing though so every state is different. For example, I paid 100 bucks and I never have to pay another dime. The insurance company does limit me to 5000 miles a year.
