electric fan

Quick 8

Well-known member
Hey Guys,
I need some help finding the thinnest fan that will fit a 63 Falcon radiator. It is pretty much the same as a 65 Mustang rad. I want it to free up some extra horsepower. It needs to be extra thin because I don't have much room. I have a 4 core rad which takes up a lot of room.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply guys.

I guess I thought I had more space available than I really do. I just measured the distance from the water pump flange that mounts the pulley, and the back of the radiator. There is only about 1-1/4" available. Unfortunately, I guess I'll need to forget the electric fan. I don't think anyone would have one that thin.

May be I can run a flex fan and pick up a little power on the top end.
 
I am using a 16" pusher fan from SPAL . At a fraction over 2" thick it was the only fan thin enough to fit my application (64 falcon) I do not use this as my daily driver but have put a few good miles in stop and go traffic with 95 degree weather and it stays around 185 degrees.He's a link to the dimensions http://www.spal-usa.com/fans/automated/tech_sheets/0400-0401.pdf,

The problem with putting the fan in front of the rad, is that my A/C condenser is mounted there. This leaves only about 1/2" between the vertical latch support bar and the rad, down near the bottom. I think that I am out of luck unless I replace the water pump with an electric inline pump, but the only one I have found is REALLY expensive.
