The flex fan was on the car when I bought it.
So was the electric fan. As long as I do my part my car won't
overheat. The car was supposed to be turn-key and ready to go. When
I got the car it was leaking from every gasket on the car including the head
gaskets. I had oil in the radiator and water in the oil. Had to have
a new engine built that was supposed to be done in 4 months. He got the
engine at the beginning of June 6 years ago and it was supposed to be done by
Labor Day. But the guy put everyone else in front of me and I didn't get my
engine until April. Then the guy charges me $75 to port match my intake to
my heads. A friend and me pulled the intake and found that he never
touched the intake ports. He charged me money for changing springs in my
Mallory Billet Distributor. I took the distributor out and the original
springs were still in the distributor. A Max Wedge intake takes short
bolts in the front, medium size bolts in the middle and long bolts near the
firewall. He had the bolts in all the wrong places.
He lost my hipo water pump and my pushrods.
Dave Huges sent me a new set FOR FREE. He said on the phone he was feeling
generous that day. I should have let Hughs build my engine. The fool
who lost my water pump did pay for a new one ($35, I think). You live and
you learn and you tell everyone where not to go if you want your engine built
right. His effing name is mud around here now.
When I went to his shop to pick up some of my stuff
he hadn't used, I got the door slammed in my face. I was as nice as could
be to the guy and even gave him $50 for a consutation which he told me I didn't
have to as it was included in the price of the engine.
I like the old saying, "Be polite. Be
professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet". So I know
at least one oxygen waster still blowing out greenhouse gas with every
breath. Too bad the sucker is still alive. Maybe he'll fuck another
customer and get what is coming to him.
Sorry about the long off-subject story, but maybe
it might make some people ask some questions to people who had their engines
built by a particular shop. I hope it saves some people from all the grief
I had to go through.

I have found the the 7 bladed fans work best for me.
Never did like the flex fan. I think that I have a couple of
those.

Hi Chick,
I never had any luck with flex-fans, any chance of going back to a
factory clutch fan.

My car runs hot if I don't turn
on my electric fan on the radiator when the temp hits about
180. If stopped in traffic without the electric fan on the
temp. soars to over 200 degrees. With the fan on it runs no more
than 180 degrees and even in 90+ degree weather it won't overheat as long
as the fan is on. It's a 440 with a big radiator and a shroud with a
plastic flex-fan. Not enough to do the job without the electric
fan.
Jeg's has them for various prices.
Check out their on-line catalog.
