... about whether or not this would fit in my truck. http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/pts/376752854.html

What do you guys think?

Here's another one from ebay. A pretty good price.

my blow drier has more cfm then that. but seriously, it would work but it wont. if you measure the shroud the distance across is almost 22 inches. so you will be shy 3 inches from the middle. also i heard that the ford fans are really good too. so you have your plus and minuses.

Probably the pro comp one seeing as it has lower CFM. Isn't Frenchy's fan rated a good bit higher than both of those?

most fans i have heard of draw 30-40 amps. dont know about these.but you would a least get a fan that would cover the radiator not just some of it. need a fan 20 inches or bigger

Todd, I'll get to the salvage yard tomorrow, and see what I can find...

Anyone here who wants one, let me know, the dude may raise his prices, the more I buy from him, so I don't know... if I can do it though, and get a good deal on shipping, I'll hook you guys up... there's TONS of these cars at this place I go to...

yeah when I saw it only drew 13.5a of current I was wondering how that could make it turn fast enough to actually work on cooling. I see that it has more blades than usual, but still making it turn faster is what you kind of want i think

Thanks Frenchy Maid.

What are the dimensions for the fan that'll fit in our engine bays?

If shipping ain't ridiculous I'd like one
