Do they bolt right up? Any rigging or fabricating involved? Will any other brands work? Thanks Fasteddie 2003 Bristol Dragway Sportsman Champion 2016 Bristol Dragway Power Hour Champion

I bought one with a life time warranty for around 125 shipped. Another one that is a good one is a fan off a HHR Chevy. ether one you get you are going to have to fab some mounting brackets etc for. mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

I found a 16" fan that moves 2500CFM on eBay, draws 17 amps IIRC. Gotta buy the seller's electrical kit separately, but I'm in the whole deal about $75. The fan's also reversible if you need it to push instead of pull. Seller is Skip White (White Performance).

I don't r member how many amps it pulls off the top of my head. but i am thinking around 40-50 amps. there is a member on the board here that can get you a hhr fan and plug in cheep.I am going for the Taurus fan because my car is going to be a street strip car and don't think 2500 will be enough for me.thanks Mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

Azzkikrcuda did you put any kind of foam to the edge of the fan so it would seal to the rad core or did you just bolt the fan to the rad as is? thanks Mopar65 3520 pound race ready 1973 Street/Strip Dodge Dart - Stock stroke 440/727 10.49 @ 125.0 on 93 pump gas & ET Street Radials.

I tested in my battery to make sure it worked and it put out more thrust than a Piper Cub propeller ..... Unfortunately it was just a tad bit too deep to fit on my Cordoba so I ordered up an HHR fan. It arrived last week broke in about 5 pieces and it is getting pretty frustrating trying to get GMpartsdirect to replace it....

That sucks!, I hope you get that issue resolved with GMpartsdirect. mike Last edited by Sport440; 12/22/08 11:54 PM.
