backspacing to make larger tires fit inside the wheelwells,where they

Well,then I'll just wait till you get your new set-up installed and buy your

Hi Pelle,
I have a pair of 12" Spal fans, part number 30100176, and they do a
wonderful job keeping my 454 cool. They aren't cheap at $150 or so each.
I'm using a relay with a thermostatic switch and I also have a toggle switch
under the dash to override the thermo switch when the A/C is running.
I have dual Spal electric fans, 11" i think. They are turned on by a temp
switch at 185 degrees the car has yet to go over 190 this is with a new 502
with 300 miles on it. So far 96 is the warmest day we have driven it. They
come with relays, i have a switch on the dash to turn them off but not

It needs the most work and probably $ also. Not knowing your age, if you're 50's or
