I'm trying to determine when the engine in my 31 roadster was rebuilt. The car was garaged for the past 19 years so the rebuild was done before 1995. It has a two blade aluminum fan. Does anyone know when these alum fans became available? That might be a clue as to when the engine was redone. Appreciate any input anybody might have.

I got one from Snyders in the late 90's. I bet if you phoned them up someone could answer your question.

I got my first aluminum repro two blade fan from Snyders in the late seventies, I think 1977 . I don't think that the new aluminum fans had been on the market for very long at that time.
