Ha ha dsraven, the HAMB guy really sums it up!

Because I believe that electric fans belong on Japanese cars with fart can exhaust ... and they are NOT needed on a Hot Rod, I will not run a electric fan on my Hot Rods.

And the Street Rodder article was pretty emphatic too:

...even electric-fan manufacturers will begrudgingly tell you that all things being equal a belt-driven fan with a shroud around it is about the most effective cooling option going.
