Electric fans and shroud recommendations
You remind me of a phrase...."educated idiot" thank goodness some people will probably listen to your physcho babble as your brainwashed philosphy of using OEM modern day parts on old hot rods is insane and ridiculous. I will just let the "non" mouth breathers ask me for my educated and intelligent opinions since my stuff has proven to be not only BAD AS **** but also extremely reliable as a street/strip package with well over 950hp so yeah I know what i'm talking about when I speak from real world experiences and not some lab rat pencil jockey that pushes paper for the OEM's......LOL
Can't refute anything, no data, goes right to name calling and personal attacks. Post dripping with narcissism. Speaks volumes. I don't care what you like, but saying it doesn't work or it's brainwashed or psycho is just plain sticking your head in the sand.
The thing is, if something is studied long enough, it gets improved. This is why you can get better parts from newer vehicles. Even your car probably has a core design that was done by an OEM supplier first. Want to buy it because it's made in USA or you like it, fine, I don't care at all. I am just asking where there is any data? Also "Street" and "Reliable" mean different things to different people. Can you sit in a traffic jam for an hour on a 90+ degree day and not get hot while letting it idle?
There really are a lot of junk aftermarket parts that aren't cheap either. Magnumforce being the best example in the mopar world.
My car has been together for 9 years and well over 10k, just works, no problems ever, huge amount of cooling headroom, 72blu has the same setup and he drives it a lot more than I do, and it's been a similar amount of time. That's a real world experience also. So is Matts440's or anyone else's.
I'm really a utilitarian person, I would use the best part for an application that is most cost effective and does the job, and that's most people. I think that was also the point of this topic.
Either case, the OP's radiator + a contour fan should do well.
