So,,,,,,Just how much is to be gained by adding a clutch fan over a direct drive fan ? Anyone done a side by comparison

is the blade pitch any different between the 2 styles of fans
The diam and blade count is the same. Then makes since the only gain is horsepower. So whats the side by side comparison ?


It is not a big deal nor is it worth arguing about. Virtually all OE manufacturers went to the clutch fan as they became available and cost effective. Especially our Mopars. If you want to live in the pre-68 +/- era, that is your prerogative. For the rest of us, post '68 with a clutch fan or post '85 +/- electric fan is the way to go.

Your opinion goes against 50+ years of experience for the OEs and most posters here. And you are welcome to it.

Master, again and still
