BBC DON Jan 13th, 00, 6:49 PM I need an opinion. My fan I purchased is 17" diameter, the fan shroud has a 19 1/2" diameter. Is this too big of a gap as to disrupt the ability to suck air by the fan? Thanks in advance, Don http://www.chevelles.com/forum/smile.gif ------------------ Don McGowen 1970 SS El Camino Gold #179 catman Jan 13th, 00, 7:20 PM sounds ok to me ,, you need some clearance for when the engine torks over when you do your smokey burn outs http://www.chevelles.com/forum/biggrin.gif ... besides the fan will have no choise but to draw air through the shroud , even if it had 4 inches of clearance ------------------ John Catapiller Mechanic Salinas,Ca 70SS 454 Clone {in construction} SEVNTE Jan 14th, 00, 8:46 AM If anyone is looking GM in Canada still have fan shrouds in stock for 1970 big blocks good prices also I bought 2 , 1 for stock Kirk ------------------ IGOTTA71 Jan 14th, 00, 8:55 AM I have an 18in. fan in my Chevelle, and never had any clearence problems, even with the broken motor mounts that a later replaced with solid ones. Someimes it may be necessary to enlarge some of the mounting holes on the fan shroud to make sure the fan is "square" in the shroud. | ||
