electric fan for '46 coupe
 

I have a '46 Ford coupe that was given to me by my mom and I would like to put an electric fan in it. Looking for some suggestions. It has a ~300hp carburated chevy 327 in it. It currently runs a little warm, especially at idle, due to not having a fan shroud and I think I would be better off just switching to an electric fan instead of trying to build a shroud. I was also thinking that the radiator might even be too small but I think trying a new fan setup first is the best idea.

Whats a little hot. Is the engine bored out. I have a 327 .060 over and runs 210 220 at 7 lbs. in the radiator. It idles the same as it runs at 90 degrees outside. If it doesn't boil over leave it alone. Jim.T.

I've saw it up to around 240 when it was left to idle for 20 minutes. I would imagine the engine is bored since it was rebuilt and had some goodies put into it.

Use a Cooling Components electric fan. They come with their own shroud.

Those fans look nice, I'll keep that bookmarked.
