Engine Cooling #195519 01/16/09 09:12 PM 01/16/09 09:12 PM

Anonymous OP Unregistered A	I have a 68 Charger, 451 stroker, factory air with Sanden compressor conversion,26" radiator, 727. I am considering converting the factory cooling clutch fan to a Flex-a-lite model 210 puller twin electric fan and shroud assembly. This is a street car that finds the strip a few times a year. The motor runs cool with or without the A/C in 90 degree temps. Does anyone have experience with this type of conversion? Thanks

If you're already running cool in 90 degree weather then there's nothing more to ask of your cooling system. Hard to beat a good clutch fan/shroud setup BTW, Welcome to Moparts!!! Got any pics of your 68'??????

I've seen countless guys try fan and rad "upgrades" with no improvement, or even losses in cooling capacity.
