Ey domindart I was wondering if you do decide to get these electric fans how much would you sell me you stock fan shroud for? Let me know!!

I do lots of research before I do anything to my car. Lots of the energy loss is due to heat, think of it as your computer you're working on, look how in-efficient that is. All the heat generated is a waste product, inefficiency, you know how hot your alternator gets if you've ever touched it after shutting down your engine. There's more inefficiency right there, lost energy through the process of creating electricity. Fans create heat, once again, inefficient. Not to mention the loss just from the motor not being 100% efficient, as there is no such thing yet. For example I believe the Mark VII Fan people use on their foxes, if I remember correctly is 65% efficient. What this means is 35% of the power is lost through this conversion, where-as a clutch fan is 100% efficient.

I can't seem to find any links or anything, but just do a quick search and you'll find all sorts of data on converting one energy to another. The sole advantage to an electric fan is the ability to shut it off.

Sounds like you know what your talkin about liquid.

r1sky- I may be able to do that for ya, but lemme get this situated first, I dont know what Im doing LOL

Another perk to a fan is being able to shut the car off and still have the fan cool it.

if your alternator has to work that hard to the point where its harder on the engine than you clutch fan was. SOMETHINGS WRONG.

Listen to this guy he knows his stuff. If you can find a way to make the stock fan shroud work on the new radiator use it along with the stock 9 blade fan, and then get a real DSO fan clutch.

If you ever get a blower for the car it'll run at 215 with the Proform.Trust me there are 3 guy with foxes over this way that all had the same issue.

They converted back to the stock setup with that DSO Police issue fan clutch and they all run cool as a cucumber now.

That stock brass radiator WILL COOL a 450hp car with this setup.

Sounds like a Plan domidart! Let me know when you get it all together! Have you relocated your power steering pump yet?
