hey guys i own an 86 iroc z it has a 5.0 tpi engine and before the deer i hit it had a working electric fan..... well i have been driving it through the winter to get to work with out a fan on it and now that the weather is getting warmer.... it is getting way to hot to be able to drive any more with out a fan..... id liek to put a flex fan on it if possible but wasnt sure if i was able to put one on it like you would see on an older v 8...

is this a simple bolt on ????

 

If you have a V-belt setup, you could remove the electric fan and shroud, and install a mechanical fan and shroud. A stock type clutch-fan would be a better choice than a flex fan though.

 

im running a flex fan with a 1" spacer. stock shroud. no problems yet. my motor has v belts. easy change and alot less money than new electric fan.

 

when i went to the store and held up a 17 inch flex fan to ware it would bolt up to the engine it seemed like it wouldnt fit.... the tpi intake was int he way of the blades..... looked like the blades were goign to def hit the MAF sensor..... can i see pics of a fan installed on a tpi engine.... to show me it will realy work....
