Well, I don't know but I wish I did. My 84 Z28 has one big fan and I wish I knew the CFM of that fan also. I was going to remove the clutch fan on my 99 Durango and Install an elect. fan, so I called around and I found this guy that said I would need at least 4500 CFM for a 5.9L eng. Is there anyone out there that knows any fan CFM spec.???

haha, good luck finding out the answer to this question.. i asked it a long long time ago, and never got even a close answer.. I think it was estimated around 2500 CFM EACH though. this is the third time someone has brought this up that i remember, and no luck so far.. I really hope though that someone knows. Cause id LOVE to know also..

good luck

No clue. I can tell you they take between 20.00001 and 24.9999 amps* if you kick both on at the same time though.

Note: Empirically determined by watching a 20 amp fuse blow and a 25 amp fuse not blow.

aftermarket fans will tell you the CFM (at least what the manu says they are) but for stock fans I have no idea. I would guess around 2500 for a single.
