Re: Dual Electric Fans??? Should I switch to 7 Blade w Clutch?
I vote for the 7 blade fan ...just my opinion. I have 7 blade clutch fans with shrouds on both of my trucks. '72 Blazer is a mild big block with fact. A/C and 4 core radiator. The '71 GMC is a mild 350 w/aftermarket A/C and an aftermarket aluminum radiator. It's HOT in central Florida and I have 160 deg. thermostats in both of them. The clutch fans run nice & quiet and cool very well. The fan blades and clutches aren't expensive and are available through chain parts stores. Good shroud makes a big difference. I'd take the electric fan off.
