Electric Fans on a Hemi.

Post by flores_57 »

:D Hello to all! & a quick question. I just squeezed a 392 Hemi into a 73 Barracuda. I'm using a Hotheads SS water crossover & because of the way the water outlets on both the crossover and the radiator are positioned, the top hose will NOT clear the fan blades. Now here's my question will an electric fan be enough to keep my Hemi cool enough? or do I have any other options? Thanks in advance to all!

No, dude. Sorry to tell you this but you will need to relocate the engine to have any chance of it being reliable. I swapped a 301 Poly into a 79 Volare and had to modify the firewall to make it work.
