I am using one and AFAIK it works great!! Easy to fab and wire in also.
Were you thinking of a CS130? those are very common. I picked one up at a swap meet last summer for $20 expecting to use it for a core, but it tested perfect
Electric fans big enough to cool a big-block on the street may well pull more than all the other loads put together... think 30-40 amps!
