will BJ60 or hj60 fan clutch fit BJ70?

[jonb96150]

I'd like to replace the fixed (solid) fan coupler with an o.e.m. fan clutch but can't seem to source one for a bj70. But I can source them for 60's, both bj and hj. Does anyone know if it will fit? I'm thinking they will but would like to confirm this. Part # would be a big help also.
Thanks

yes. 60 and 70 (3B engine) will fit.

all of the 4 bolts that the fan clutch use to mount to the pulley fit. The 60 fan clutch won't allow the 70 plastic fan to mount on it. I guess you can buy the 60 plastic fan too. One of the things I haven't done yet is to find out the diameter of the 60 fan to make sure it fits the 70 shroud.

I do know that the mid 80's pickup plastic fan is the same as the 70 series. part # crosses over. so you could run a mid 80's pickup fan clutch and it would bolt up. I dunno if it engages differently from the 70 fan since it's a different # but it can't be that far off.

Thanks for the replies.

I talked to Dan at 4wheelauto.com in Edmonton and he's sending out a water pump and a fan clutch (viscous coupling). He was very patient, and thinks my fan will bolt up to the new fan clutch.

My current fan mount is a viscous coupling modified to be solid by being drilled and through bolted so I don't think I can just add the fluid back to it.

Thanks again.
