Re: electric fans? (Pacin'California)
No one can put a "cool" rating on the fan regardless of size because fans don't cool, the radiator does all the work. Fans simply supply air, which is free when you moving 40-60 mph. The dual spals will get you 2780 cfm, which is about the same air flow you'd get at the above speeds. Steve, the stock brass rad in your car is fairly large and can do a pretty good job with the duals, I'd estimate the combo to be about 300-400 hp rated. If you converted the brass rad to an aluminum/dual 11 combo, I'd raise that number to 450-600hp. The nicest thing about our dual 11 package is the new mounting brackets we have developed. They allow you to bolt the fan directly to the stock rad in about 5 minutes. Kits $344

Re: electric fans? (stickben)
I converted to single 16" electric fan for a total of $100.00. Went to used racing parts store and purchased a used 16" fan. Came with very small shroud. Wired it in using a Painless Wiring kit (which I highly recommend) and use a 180 thermostat. The fan kicks on at 185 and shuts off at I think 175. Anyway, to date no problem and the car stays right at 180, even at idle. I am not using the stock shroud but have all the seals around the radiator in place. I am also using the factory 3 core radiator but have had it rodded out. If everthing else is not up to snuff, won't matter what type of fan(s) you use. The whole system has to be operating properly.
