Lmao ok Cause they make cars like tin cans now and cant fit a mechanical under the hood. Hmm got lots of stuff to learn about build a motor. Vid is almost done. I just switched to fords i love my 86 fox for real buti know for a damn fact i dont have to switch to electric fans to gain a lil 5hp what a waste of time. I mean foreal what is 5hp gonna do for you. I can see in a honda since they are 90hp stock 5hp means alot but a well build V8 lol.

Edit: My 01 f150 5.4L pulls 300hp at the crank with a mechanical fan how that for ya. STOCK.. SO if i remove it and place a electric fan i can pull twice the load lol. What will i see with 5 hours labor and 5hp realy???

-1000

u can get a junkyard fan for 20$ from a taurus/lincoln mark8 and make 10-15 more hp its what hot rodding is all about
thank you...you said it before i did lol it doesnt matter if its a big gain or a little gain all those little gains add up. just like a lot of little bottles add up to a big bottle lol you can still get drunk

Well see now you have a reason to. But just to do it for 5-10hp dont seem worth my time i know alot of us here are on budgets. I know i am. And i would rather save up for a new rotating setup, heads, carb, intake,cam, things that means the most.

thing is you can get a fan out of a taurus 3.8 for 25 bucks it pulls upwards of 5000cfm take 5 minutes to fit up and another like 10 bucks for the wires and a switch

i mean look how much nicer that looks than the stock fan

I can't untill I get to do an hci, my plan is that if anything breaks, I will upgrade, and when it is time for my major mods, my supporting mods should be complete, I will actually save money by buying a junk yard electric fan, opposed to buying a new clutch fan

I paid $219 for roller rockers before, how much hp do you think they really give? Not much , but it is something that makes a motor complete. Like I said before, If I can spend a couple hundred to gain 5-10 hp hell yea. Let alone $25 junk yard part for the gain.

It's all good, I just thought I would throw out my opinion as well. I agree, if my fan worked properly, I would not do it. I am not here to argue either, we are just one big happy mustang forum family. For the most part.

yeah i bought the fan and it was sitting in my basement for about 5 months before i put it on. only reason i did was because the stock fan clutch litteraly blew to peices, which destroyed my radiator and my water pump all at once

Ok ima look like the dummy. Mines about shot (ABOUT not yet) ANd i will prolly replace with a electric but..... thats to fix a problem not for a hp gain only. I do wanna apoligize i did seem to come off strong didnt mean to i was just saying i would do that to just a upgrade unless i had other things to do and or my fan was going out. Like one here said were just a big family here. And i realy respect yall have helped me out alot and damnit wished i had my clutch. I would make some sice azz vids of my rusty old stang ripping the tires off the rims lol.
