Default New Fan Needed

Hey guys, so my 92 vert has some really bad stress cracks all over the stock fan that is currently in the car... I am running low on cash and was thinking of one of those flex lite fans or something...any ideas? sizes? companys?

Thanks for any input

I have the flexalite set up , prob is, it is always drawing air and slows down warm up time and almost makes the car run to cool

I've got a flexalite. Without pulleys they can be rather noisy because of the air turbulence...

I'm pretty sure the parts stores sell a generic flexalite that fits a ton of applications. Just take your water pump pulley to the parts store and make sure the bolt holes match.

buy stock before you blow nylon schrapnel everywhere and need a new radiator too.
