Swapped in a GM 350 when the original F failed and used the original cleaned and tested rad, with a 4 blade flex fan and modified shroud.
Should have rebuilt the F and stayed stock. The swap seemed like a good idea at the time.
I have a 180 thermostat and the engine runs around 200. On a hot day as high as 210.
I am looking at putting the original metal shroud back on the rad and installing an electric puller fan.
Research says the fan must have at least 2800 CFM for a V8 engine and that straight blades cool better than curved.
Does anyone have any experience with using an electric fan on an original rad, fan type and placement?
thanks
