One of these would cure the fan problem http://www.etrailer.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/pics/d/1/d16826_1000.jpg I cant see if that has a (spill ring) around the perimeter but a fan with a spill ring is much more efficient over one that doesnt... its like the wing tiplets on a jet plane... it doesnt allow the air to fall off the end of the wing.. same thing on a fan blade.. dont waste the air off the ends(thats moves the most air till it goes sonic)

My Spals are that way as well. The fan setup pictured is rated at 4000cfm. I've found that if they are not at least 3000cfm you're wasting your money and time. Mopar to the bone!!!

At one point with the previous motor. A 500 hp 440. I made a shroud out of 1" aluminum box tubing and a sheet of aluminum with one 14" fan. It never preformed that well so I removed it. The rad tanks are up against the core support so it cant move any further forward but I can block off any openings so air if directed through the rad. The fact it gets so hot at idle in the drive way leads me to believe it's a lack of radiator capacity. Before I look into a different rad I will try to fab another shroud and seal up the air flow. Try the cheap solutions first. The "inexpensive" solutions are always good to try first. FYI, over heat at idle is usually an air flow problem. Over heat at speed ( reads making HP ) is often a capacity/size problem. Fastest 300

They wanted me to run the one w/ 1.5" tubes, but I couldn't fit it w/ my fan setup. I have the fan/shroud setup off of a 2003 dodge Viper and it works great. If you want, I can get you the part number for it...it's not expensive at all if you know someone at a dodge dealer that can get it for you at their discount. Or you can get in touch w/ sixpackgut here on the board...he has some cheap ebay fan setup that works great...he ran and won drag week last year w/ it. The other thing is your pump...I run the 45 GPM Meziere pump that bolts into the stock housing. This setup keeps my 850 hp Hemi cool on the street. CHIP '70 hemicuda, 575" Hemi, 727, Dana 60 '69 road runner, 440-6, 18 spline 4 speed, Dana 60 '71 Demon, 340, low gear 904, 8.75 '73 Chrysler New Yorker, 440, 727, 8.75 '90 Chevy 454SS Silverado, 476" BBC, TH400, 14 bolt '06 GMC 2500HD LBZ Duramax
