Overheating 360 new engine

Silent Run non flex 18" fan. It cuts the air, instead of flexing with centrifugal force. That's why it's a Silent Run.

Solved the problem of crammed serpentine space, the problem of overheating, did not break the bank, and did not have to chop up the original mopar wiring.

Car owner is Happy, Happy, Happy and is enjoying the freedom of driving his classic without worry of overheating.

So, all that money for a serpentine set up and you don't even run a proper fan shroud? Again, you're just tossing hp down the toilet. What's the CFM rating at idle BTW? Or at 6,000 rpm?

"Cuts the air"? Wow. Somebody has been reading too many advertising gimmicks.

George J,
Agree with you. Some will just never get it....
What is the point of 'saving' hp with toy electric fans, but your engine overheats & you cannot enjoy driving it!

You're right, some people like yourself just will never understand thermal efficiency.

My engine has never overheated with my "toy fans", although I have had that pleasure with factory mechanical fans on other cars. Like I said, the fans I run are proven OE technology. They're just not 50+ year old, outdated technology. I've been running the same set up for almost 8 years, 35k+ miles, and it's been fine when stuck in traffic in 110°F weather. 99% of the time I don't even need the high speed setting on the fans at all, there's plenty of overkill built into the system. More than in the stock system.

But hey, if you don't understand how to properly set up a cooling system, maybe it's best you stick with stock.
