Hi people...this weekend, a week after i had my insane-*** exhaust installed, my clutch fan ripped apart while going over 6000rpm, my hood pierced (thank god i hadn't installed my new one yet) both my waterpump and alternator belt ripped and got caught in the fan's base, and my hose was cut clean, no other damage. SO... I am now looking for a good fan, knowing electrical is the best... where can i find one? No place in this city have any.

And, i have no clue how to wire these up honestly, especially considering the car originally had a clutch fan. Not sure if i'll have to buy other parts, like additional fuse boxes or anything. Not sure if this is a good idea but, since i'm the only driver, what if i had a manual switch to control the fan's speed at my taste while monitoring the car's temp?

 

Unless you have a serious combo that needs additional cooling, I would just grab a stock electric fan from the classifieds and wire it to a fused power source. For the ground, use a fan switch in the head. If you have a low-temp thermostat installed, make sure you buy a fanswitch for the head that corresponds to that stat.

chevrolet celebrity electric fans are real good. and dirt cheap when you find one from a bone yard. they are 240-watt. most gm fans are 150-watt

 

Well... my car is pushing slightly over 400 horses, maybe a little less since this summer, but since i'm rebuilding an engine next year and the rest of the body this winter, i want something good. Cuz at some point i'll be dropping a 400 small block in her and i assume it needs good cooling. So... would a stock electric fan be just as good for an engine producing close to 500 ponies?

 

the chevrolet celebrity fan is more than enough.

 

Will the chev celebrity fans just zip tie to the radiator? Any brackets need to be made? does it have any type of shrouding on it or do you have to custom make something.

 

The Lincoln Mark VIII fans are the best out there and, when used with a DC Controller, are even better. I have a Monte Carlo; so, you'll have to find how other Camaro owner have mounted them (mine's just sandwiched between the lower rad. support and a Cutlass top plate.
