Reverse rotation clutch fan.... - 02/01/09 05:19 AM

Any use for a reverse rotation clutch fan blade? The one I have (new) would actually be a pusher fan if I mounted it on my 383. Would there be any use for it , say on a reverse cooled SBC? Maybein a street rod?

Wouldn't that sort of be like pi$$ing in the wind.?

Yes if used on a waterpump with standard roation. Do reverse cooled engines spin the pump backwards or is it a different pump impeller?

Most everything with a serpentine belt system uses a reverse rotation fan and pump. The clutch is different too.

Yep..I've worked on alot of Chev C1500 trucks and they use a serpentine setup with a reverse rotation water pump/fan/fan clutch setup. (All the TBI ones, when they went to Vortec, they use a screw on fan clutch)
