Is there a reason you want to remove it and replace it with something not as dependable?

It's what the cool kids are doing to get 1 more hp.

1 more HP but it overheats in traffic.

 

There is one setup guaranteed to work. I would use the Datsun 210 factory electric fan setup. Find one at a wrecking yard.

Overheating in traffic is the new murdered out.

I suppose I should have told my short story, I flew hanggliders for 20+ years, when flying you have to drive up hills/mountains, after I landed, I needed to find a ride up the hill/mountain to get my vehicle, I have gotten a lot of rides up the hill over them years I flew, 2 rigs let me down in one way or another, one of them was my 71 Datsun 521 with a 1600 engine, it did not have the torque to get up the hill unless I drove really fast around corners that were cliffs, the other one was a car with an electric fan(it was stock), I had to walk the rest of the way up the hill that night, as the electric fan failed in that car.

Now I am not saying that I have not seen cars/trucks over heating when they got to the tops of the hill with stock non-electric fans, but they did get to the top of the hill to entertain us while we set up our gliders.

BTW, I replaced that 1600 motor the next week with an L20b, never had an issue getting up the hill after that.

are you over heating and want to put two electric fans?

just remove the fan and snug the bolts back up, then mount your electric fan.

It may have a clutch fan that will get in the way?

 

 

Billions of cars have electric fans and they work just fine. Most of the time they are not even on.

I have a fixed fan on my Landcruiser 4x4, driven off the crank pulley. Every mechanic who looks at it says I should replace it with an electric fan to save fuel.

alternator works harder.

elelctric motors are very relaible.

water pumps are cheap and ez just the bearing wears out
