where to buy cooling fan for '70 240z

[Dirk Diggler]

Im having a hell of a time finding a fan for my Z. None of the auto stores around here carry one, and they all say they cant order one. Ive tried junkyards, I pulled a fan off of a 240sx last night and tried it, but it has a fan clutch which makes it hit the radiator. Are there any sites I can order one from, or does anyone have one they will ship to me? I dont want electric fans, just the normal bolt on.

MSA (theZstore.com)

 

or Black Dragon auto (just google em they show a few parts online but have a full catalog.)

Thanks. I got a tip today from a friend about a junkyard that has 3 Z's, went to check it out and found one. One 240 had coilovers, a cage, and tons of other neat parts but the guy wont sell any of it. He has it sitting on top of a seatrain just rusting out, its pretty sad. But I scored the fan with clutch, a front air dam, and a turn signal for $50

Why not go electric?

I'm trying to stay period correct with it. I'd love to have the original metal fan, but id rather not go through water pumps too fast.

when at the yard try one from a datsun or toyota truck, 810, s12 200sx 2.0 models or 70 to early 80's celica's not sure about the bolt patterns but i think those may have the right lengths.

No Datsun had a metal fan.

Z train, 1970 240z had a metal fan from the factory, which you can still buy a replacement for, but they switched to plastic in the later years because the heavier metal fans eat up water pumps. I picked up one off of a 240z and off a 240sx, they are both the same size and bolt pattern
