Electric fan questions
I need to put in a pusher electric fan on my truck. The engine is a mild build 460 and the radiator has a built in transmission cooler. The radiator is also a big sucker, all aluminum. It can fit up to a 19" inch fan in front.
My questions are 1) Is there a certain cfm I should get? The radiator shop guy said anything should work and no shroud was needed, but I'd rather get advice from you guys. Since it's a pusher it makes sense not to cover the rest of the area around the fan with a shroud, but the cfm's vary considerably on what I find in the catalogues.
Also 2) I know I've asked this before, but is Summit's brand good? Or should I dig deep and go for something like spal?
Lastly, 3) what about the relays to switch it on and off at certain temp ranges? Thanks Steve." "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
I've been checking in and figured the site had died forever. I checked today and bam it's back on. Awesome. I don't contribute much here, I just come to read and enjoy hotrod builds and good company...
