Those fans move a LOT of air. More blades and more pitch to boot so it gets a clutch due to the additional drag. I have used this on several Mopars with no down side. Currently I have one on the 540 Hemi in my Cuda and it still has the original re-cored radiator with a good shroud.

And, if it matters, this route is cheap.



Got a pic of this?
